Les Belles Heures de Jean de France, duc de Berry
The Limbourg Brothers Franco-Netherlandish
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 13
Les Belles Heures, ouvrage de piété personnel, fut le premier de plusieurs somptueux manuscrits que Jean de Berry fit exécuter par les frères de Limbourg. Ce livre d’heures est riche de quatre-vingt-quatorze enluminures en pleine page et cinquante-quatre colonnes enluminées. Il s’agit peut-être du seul recueil de style homogène, quasi complet, qui nous soit parvenu de l’extraordinaire bibliothèque ducale. L’ouvrage réunit des passages hors du commun, qui reflètent les intérêts personnels de son propriétaire. Ce feuillet représente le miracle de saint Nicolas secourant des voyageurs en mer. La palette lumineuse des artistes a combiné un paysage aux couleurs nordiques à des personnages aux rondeurs italianisantes.
