July - the Chateau at Poitiers, 15th century (1939) - A Glimpse into Medieval Farm Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a scene from July in the 15th century, as depicted by Paul Limbourg in his renowned work "Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry". The image transports us to the beautiful countryside of western France, where farm workers diligently harvest wheat with scythes and tend to their flock of sheep. In the background, we witness the tranquil convergence of the river Boivre into the Clain. A wooden bridge gracefully leads our gaze towards the magnificent triangular Chateau de Poitiers, a fortification built for Jean de Berry. This iconic structure stands proudly amidst lush farmland and rolling hills, serving as a testament to medieval architecture's grandeur. Limbourg's masterpiece is part of an illuminated manuscript commissioned by Jean, Duc de Berry. Created between c1412 and 1489, this book of hours is hailed as one of Europe's finest examples of manuscript illumination. Its pages are now treasured at Musee Conde in Chantilly, France. Through this enchanting snapshot frozen in time from both centuries past and decades ago when it was printed in Verve magazine (France), we gain insight into rural life during medieval times while appreciating Limbourg's artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder that history can be beautifully preserved through artistry and storytelling.
