Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry Is a "book of
hours" a personal prayer book with the prayers a Catholic is
meant to say at all times of day. It is decorated with 12 exquisite
miniature paintings?one for each month? depicting a common
activity of the month with a castle belonging to the duke in the
background. Those 12 masterpieces are presented here as a set
of individually framed, full-color-plus-gold lithographs.
<p>The originals were painted by the Limbourg Brothers 1413 - 1416. They are significant for the way the artists integrated real
human activity into realistic depictions of nature. The original book is in
the Louvre.
<p>The frames are thin gold molding accented with blue and
red. The framing was by a gallery in Frieburg, Germany (name
and address stamped on back of each). The prints are probably
German as well.
<p>Each measures 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 inches
<p>Very Good overall condition. Some gold wear to frames. No
damage to prints, glass or frames and no repairs found.
<p>Circa early 1900s.
<p>Please see our inventory for more antique prints and framed
artwork. As well as antiques of
all kinds.
