Très Belles Heures de Notre Dame du Jean de Berry (1380-1420)
by Netherlandish illuminators

Paris had an organized book trade around its university from the thirteenth century and we must certainly ascribe to Paris many of the best-known Book of Hours of the period of Jean, Duc de Berry. The Très Belles Heures of the Duc the Berry was began about 1382, it is a Parisian manuscript illuminated mainly by Netherlandish artists. Some illustrations once were attributed to Jan van Eyck by scholars. The manuscript combines superb landscapes, accurate, spatially correct interiors, and ornamental borders familiar from the work of Jean Pucelle.
