Limbourg brothers

Dutch, 1416

I fratelli Limbourg – Herman, Paul e Jean – furono miniatori originari di Nimega, attivi in Francia all'inizio del XV secolo fino al 1416. Lavorando nello stile del gotico internazionale per Giovanni di Francia, duca di Berry, dipinsero le Belles Heures e le celebri Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, rimaste incompiute.
