Created in 1939 by Jean Limbourg, this image is part of the renowned book of hours called "Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry". The scene depicted here showcases a vibrant cavalcade taking place on the first day of May. Trumpeters and riders lead the procession, while women dressed in enchanting green attire add an air of elegance.
