Edmond Pognon's authoritative text chronicles the historical and cultural context surrounding this extraordinary Book of Hours, illuminating the devotional purpose of the manuscript alongside its breathtaking artistic ambition. The work details the calendar pages, religious scenes, and courtly imagery that have made the Très Riches Heures an unparalleled window into late medieval aristocratic life and piety. Written with scholarly precision yet accessible elegance, the commentary guides readers through each illumination, unpacking the iconographic programs and the technical virtuosity of the artists who brought them to life. This is an essential reference for anyone captivated by medieval art, manuscript culture, or the opulent world of the Valois court.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810562650331,"sku":"2026200006638-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/89771fc7-3a30-4d42-a6e5-26570df823a6.png?v=1779805157","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006638-secondhand-les-tres-riches-heures-du-duc-de-berry-15th-century-manuscript","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
