This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the 15th-century masterpiece, "The very rich hours of the Duke of Berry" by Pol De Limburg. Titled "November: the slaughter of acorns" this miniature painting showcases incredible attention to detail and artistic finesse. Set in Chantilly's Musee Conde, this image transports us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. In this artwork, we see an enchanting fusion of gothic and Flemish styles as it depicts various elements such as astrology, agriculture, and animal breeding.

It serves as a poignant reminder to appreciate the beauty around us and recognize our responsibility towards preserving it for future generations. Through this evocative snapshot captured by Photo Josse, we can now cherish this historic artwork beyond its original confines within "The very rich hours".
