Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry

Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry is probably the most important illuminated manuscript of the 15th Century. It consists of 416 pages, about half of which are full-page miniatures, and took nearly a century to be completed. Pictured is the illustration for July, which depicts the shearing of the sheep. The castle in the background is the Château de Clain, near Poitiers.
