Les Très Riches Heures du Duc du Berry



http://www.christusrex.org/www2/berry/f2r.html

This site has the clearest reproductions of these pictures that I have seen so far.

It also has a nice explanation of the pictures, and their history.

These are beautiful illustrations of Medieval life. It does take them a while to load, so be patient. At the bottom of each page, there is a link to a larger version of the picture shown.

  1. Thanks for posting this. I just discovered it on your blog. Nice to come back too later when I have time. Very interesting that they give a description of what is going on in the illustrations along with various sized details.
