Musée Condé, Château de Chantilly : Les Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry

MUSÉE CONDÉ - CHÂTEAU DE CHANTILLY

The Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry

Château de Chantilly unveils one of medieval art's most precious treasures: the Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry. This international exhibition of considerable scope offers a unique opportunity to contemplate this legendary manuscript, dubbed the "Mona Lisa of manuscripts," under exceptional circumstances. A fascinating immersion into the artistic and cultural universe of the 15th century that will never be repeated.

The Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry embodies the pinnacle of medieval illumination. This book of hours, commissioned by Jean de Berry, brother of King Charles V, represents far more than a simple collection of prayers: it constitutes a veritable artistic manifesto of its era. Born from the genius of the Limbourg brothers, those master illuminators of the Burgundian court who revolutionised the codes of their art, the work bears witness to the refinement and sophistication of the late Middle Ages.

Maximilien Luce (1858-1941), the instinct of Landscape

This retrospective highlights the work of neo-impressionist painter Maximilien Luce, a key figure in anarchist circles, through the lens of landscape. Beyond the humanist spirit that drives Luce's work, landscape emerges as a central theme in his painting.

The exhibition traces the artist's travels, shedding light on the social and industrial transformations of his era.

Idyllic scenes of bathing coexist with the ominous silhouettes of factories. The city, factories, and nature become fertile grounds for experimentation. The unique way in which Luce captures light and color reveals the astonishing beauty of both urban and rural landscapes.
