EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "June - the palace and the Sainte-Chapelle, 15th century" transports us back in time to witness a picturesque scene from medieval France. The image showcases barefoot peasants engaged in hay-making activities amidst vast fields. Men can be seen skillfully wielding scythes to cut the grass, while women diligently rake and gather it into neat piles. In the background, we catch a glimpse of Paris, with notable landmarks such as the Hotel de Nesle (now known as Palais de Justice), the orange conical towers of Conciergerie, and the magnificent Gothic architecture of Sainte Chapelle on the right. This breathtaking view provides a sense of both rural serenity and urban grandeur. The print is actually a page from "Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry" an exquisite book of hours commissioned by Jean, Duc de Berry during the 15th century. Created by renowned artists Hermann Limbourg and his brothers between c1412 and 1489, this manuscript illumination is considered one of Europe's finest examples. Now preserved at Musee Conde in Chantilly, France, this artwork beautifully captures not only historical events but also offers insights into daily life during that era. The vibrant colors used by Limbourg bring life to every detail within this masterpiece. Published in Verve magazine in 1939 under their No. 7 Vol. II edition, this print allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us through time. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites contemplation on how society has evolved over centuries while still cherishing traditions rooted deep within our past.
