Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry

Carregado por shivabel em 5 de Jul de 2009

I mesi dell'anno tratti dal più bel libro miniato del XV secolo, 'Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry'. The months of the year from Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. This is probably the most important illuminated manuscript of the 15th century, "le roi des manuscrits enluminés" ("the king of illuminated manuscripts"). It is a very richly decorated Book of Hours containing over 200 folios, of which about half are full page illustrations.It was painted sometime between 1412 and 1416 by the Limbourg brothers for their patron Jean, Duc de Berry . They left it unfinished at their (and the Duke's) death in 1416. Charles I, Duke I of Savoy commissioned Jean Colombe to finish the paintings between 1485-1489.

Medieval Painting - Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry

Carregado por zara2255 em 22 de Jul de 2010

Les Tres Riches Heures was painted by the Lumbourg brothers , Paul , Hermann and Jean . They came from Nijmegen in what is now the Netherlands but were generally referred to as Germans . Very little is known about them ; they are believed to have been born in the late 1370s or 1380s and were born into an artistic family , their father being a wood sculptor and their uncle being an artist working variously for the French Queen and for the Duc de Bourgogne . They seem to have followed in their uncle`s footsteps and by 1402 had entered into the service of the Duc de Bourgogne as artists . By 1408 they had entered the service of Jean , Duc de Berry , one of the most notable art lovers in France . They are known to have executed several other pieces of work apart from the Tres Riches Heures but most of these , with the major exception of the Tres Belles Heures , seem to have been lost . In around February 1416 all three Limbourg brothers died before the age of thirty , apparently killed by an epidemic .The Tres Riches Heures is the classic example of a medieval book of hours . This was a collection of the text for each liturgical hour of the day . Calendars , prayers , psalms and masses for certain holy days were commonly included . The pictures in this video are from the calendar section of the Tres Riches Heures . The Limbourgs used a wide variety of colours obtained from minerals , plants or chemicals and mixed with either arabic or tragacinth gum to provide a binder for the paint . Amongst the more unusual colours they used were vert de flambe , a green obtained from crushed flowers mixed with massicot , and azur d`outreme , an ultramarine made from crushed Middle Eastern lapis-lazuli , used to paint the brilliant blues. The pictures was painted some time between 1412 and 1416 and is arguably the most beautiful part of the manuscript ; it is certainly the best known , being on of the great art treasures of France ...
