The late fourteenth and fif- tenth centuries were a time of war and turbulence in France. Yet they were also a time of culture when French art, fash- ion and courtly manners set the style for Europe. In this para- doxical Gothic world, the great- est patrons were four brothers: King Charles V: Philip. Duke of Burgundy. ultimately the most powerful of the family; Duke Louis d’Anjou; and Jean, Duke of Berry. whose whole life centred on art. Among other things his lavish and imagina- tive support made possible one of the most exquisite illumin- ated manuscripts known today: "Les Tres Riches Heures" (Very Rich Hoursl. painted by the Limbourg Brothers. Around 1413. Jean de Berry chose three brothers to illuminate a “Book of Hours" which suro passed all others with its pris- tine color and enchanting mood. leaving us with a vivid vision of medieval times. The art- ists were Paul. Herman and Jean Limbourg. sons of a Ger- man wood sculptor.
