EDITORS COMMENTS
January" from Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry is a stunning illustration of the monthly calendar, showcasing the natural phenomena and seasonal activities of the month. In this particular image, the Duc de Berry is depicted at his table, surrounded by his courtiers, enjoying the warmth of an indoor feast amidst the cold winter season. The scene is set against a backdrop of a snow-covered landscape, with trees barren of leaves and ice forming on the ponds. The Duc, dressed in royal attire, sits at the head of the table, his face expressionless as he looks out at the viewer. His courtiers, dressed in fine clothing and furs, gather around the table, some engaged in conversation, others attending to their meals. The natural phenomena of January are represented by the hunting scene taking place outside the window. Huntsmen on horseback pursue a stag through the snowy forest, their dogs in hot pursuit. The hounds bark and bay, their breath visible in the cold air. The contrast between the warmth of the indoor feast and the harsh winter outside highlights the seasonal contrasts of January. The intricate details of the illustration are a testament to the artistic skill of the Limbourg Brothers, who created Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. The use of naturalistic colors and the attention to detail in the depiction of the Duc and his courtiers add to the overall beauty and richness of the image. This print is a reminder of the passage of time and the cyclical nature of the seasons. The Duc and his courtiers, ensconced in their warm surroundings, are a stark contrast to the harsh winter outside, highlighting the contrasts and juxtapositions of the natural world. The intricacy and beauty of the illustration make it a timeless work of art, a testament to the artistic skill and vision of the Limbourg Brothers.
