The Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry is the most famous and possibly the best surviving example of French Gothic manuscript illumination; showing the late International Gothic phase of the style. It is a book of hours: a collection of prayers to be said at the canonical hours.
It was created between c. 1412 and 1416 for the extravagant royal bibliophile and patron John; Duke of Berry; by the Limbourg brothers. When the three painters and their sponsor died in 1416; possibly victims of plague; the manuscript was left unfinished. It was further embellished in the 1440s by an anonymous painter; who many art historians believe was Barthelemy d'Eyck. In 1485-1489; it was brought to its present state by the painter Jean Colombe on behalf of the Duke of Savoy.
Acquired by the Duc d'Aumale in 1856; the book is now in the Musee Conde; Chantilly; France.
