Author Description

Published to accompany the major exhibition at the Museum of Nijmegen, Holland, this handsome book is the only book on the market to offer an in-depth exploration of the work of the Limbourg Brothers, the famous manuscript illuminators and creators of the sublime Les Belles Heures du Duc de Berry and Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry.
