Nativity
This book of hours is one of the most famous and priceless books of the world. It distinguishes itself by the beauty of the script itself, the ornate initials and the miniatures in the manner of panel paintings. The manuscript was not finished until 70 years after the death of the artist Limburg in 1416.

The Très Belles Heures de Notre-Dame is a former book made for John, duke of Berry (1340-1416) between 1389 and 1409, and now divided into three books : the book of hours in the Bibliothèque nationale de France (NAL 3093), the missal now in Turin (Museo Civico d'Arte, ms inv n°47), and a prayer book formerly in Turin and now destroyed (Turin Biblioteca Nazionale, K.IV.29).

The Belles Heures is one of the most celebrated manuscripts of the Middle Ages and very few books of hours are as richly decorated as it. The manuscript remained in the possession of Berry until his death in 1416. Afterwards it was purchased by Yolande of Aragon, the Queen of Sicily and Duchess of Anjou. In 1954 it was purchased by J.D. Rockefeller Jr. from the Baron Maurice Rothschild with the intention that it be given to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York

Completed by 1408 or 1409, probably in Paris, "The Belles Heures," a private devotional book, was the first of several sumptuous manuscripts commissioned by the duke of Berry from the Limbourg brothers, Pol, Jean, and Herman. It is perhaps the only virtually complete and stylistically consistent prayer book to survive from the duke's extraordinary library. The richly illustrated text is amplified by unusual cycles reflecting the duke's personal interests. Using a luminous palette, the artists blended an intimate Northern vision of nature with Italianate modes of figural articulation. The keen interest in the natural world and the naturalistic means of representing it, so striking in ninety-four full-page and fifty-four column illuminations, foreshadow the work of Jan van Eyck and the ensuing generations of outstanding fifteenth-century painters in the South Netherlands.
