The Art of Illumination: The Limbourg Brothers and the Belles Heures of Jean de France, Duc de Berry
On view in the Robert Lehman Wing
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
March 2 - June 13, 2010
The Belles Heures (1405 - 1408/9) of Jean de Berry, a treasure of The Cloisters collection, is one of the most celebrated and lavishly illustrated manuscripts in this country. Because it is currently unbound, it is possible to exhibit all of its illuminated pages as individual leaves, a unique opportunity never to be repeated. The exhibition will elucidate the manuscript, its artists-the young Franco-Netherlandish Limbourg Brothers-and its patron, Jean de France, duc de Berry. A select group of precious objects from the same early fifteenth-century courtly milieu will place the manuscript in the context of the patronage of Jean de Berry and his royal family, the Valois.

Absolutely incredible - imagine how steady your hands would have to be to paint in that much detail? And the patience required . . .
They had about a 6 to 8 month time San for all the details and writings with a team they were busy alright
These two gentlemen are internationally acclaimed art experts.
That doesn’t give credit.
Aka self-important white men in suits

IGEN, ÉS MICSODA TÁRGYI TUDÁS, LENYÜGÖZÖ-
Multiple artists and craftsmen working for 3 to 4 years with the finest materials. One wonders how much money was involved.
Hi sir,I want to ask you some questions:
1.what is the difference between:philology,codicology,manuscriptology,paleography,manuscript studies?
2.do they include historical linguistics?
3.can a person study all codices and manuscripts around the world?
4.if they are different from each other,is there a field that covers them all?
5.how can I self study them?
6.what sources should I use to study them(considering that I am in 11th grade so the sources must be from complete beginning to most advanced)?
Thank you so much❤️
Excellent! :)
Timothy Husband(sp?) is one uptight dude!

Does anyone know if there's a project to digitalise this manuscript?
I believe you can find a facsimile of this manuscript....I once saw one at a library several years ago. I have no idea if it's still in print.
this is not the exact scans but ia600908.us.archive.org/15/items/TheArtofIlluminationTheLimbourgBrothersandtheBellesHeuresofJeandeFranceDucdeBerr/TheArtofIlluminationTheLimbourgBrothersandtheBellesHeuresofJeandeFranceDucdeBerr.pdf
You must make pictures of a such great pice of universal history. is the only way that more people will enjoy it.
What about Margret Lawson? I know she did that research. 🔬
Books of hours are versions of the brievery for the laity to pray the Psalms. It's a psalter.
They seem to have the personality of a plank of wood... or perhaps a dry sponge....
@LaHaineRGR175 it was started by him silly. thats what
I thought Timothy was The husband of The introducer😂
@jesuisjedwardly What does Catholicism have to do with Christianity or better yet the teachings of Yahshua Messiah?
Maybe we just forget what 16 year old eyes and muscles were really like...lol.
All Folk Art
What is unfortunate here is that historians involved in this exhibition never bothered to look up Jean de France's proper and complete title... it almost seems as if they had not done their job thoroughly. . . Jean de France was: Duc de Touraine et de Berry (Duke of Touraine and of Berry) - AND - was Dauphin de Viennois (Dauphin of Viennois). ...as son of Charles VI 'Le Bien-Aimé' ('The Beloved') of France, he was also Prince of France ...so, much more than a duke here. . . Shame really. . .
ur gay
Actually, if you listen to the presentation, you will hear him refer to the Duke as the prince, and he references the brothers working in princely quarters. I believe that these men are highly knowledgeable about their subject and would be stupefied if they didn't know the information you gave. If they didn't give his full name it was most likely because it is cumbersome and not important. They are, after all, focusing on the work.
How to pass Occitan culture into “ french” , in other words how to annihilate an ancient nation.
The anjou family( fleu de lis symbol) is prior to the invention of france.
They are robots for sure...
great job! just need to speak up a little more.
QUICKSCOPING IN MW2 IS COOLER 'derp'
@cfh99nyc Yahshua Messiah did not start the doctrines of Free will, Original Sin, Trinitarianism, Purgatory, Sun-day worship, veneration of idols/graven images, Luciferianism. All these are doctrines of institutions such as Catholicism/Protestantism and have no basis in Biblical Christianity. You must have him confused with Jesus/Mithras/Apollo/Sol Invictus....silly
Kkkkkj 😎😂 el
Monks fishing not having a day off? Self sufficient.
The men introducing the video are living examples of what is wrong with the "art world".
This comment is so stupid, it shows whats wrong on the internet
ThisbeandPyramus Such a stupid comment. Unbelievable.
This is so pretentious and boring I hate art history.
Really? Perhaps you just hate this particular style of presentation.
Then look into the technical aspect of how these extremely old books were made. There's a video showing how the animal skins were pulled and scraped to make the pages, along with what pigments were used for color, gold foil, a scribe writing and how the book was finally bound. Wish I could own a book from that time.
