Abstract (en)

Examines the miniatures of the fourth gathering of the Belles Heures (New York, Cloisters), executed ca.1405-1408 by the Limbourg brothers for Duke Jean de Berry. Focuses on the stylistic characteristics that distinguish these illuminations, presumably painted before those of the first three gatherings.
