The Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, often described as the “Mona Lisa of manuscripts,” is currently at the heart of an exhibition at the Musée Condé, Château de Chantilly.
This talk will be an opportunity to answer essential questions to better understand this exceptional masterpiece: Who was Jean de Berry? What is a book of hours? What is the art of illumination? And why can the Très Riches Heures be considered a masterpiece of the precious arts at the end of the Middle Ages?
Join our speakers, Mathieu Deldicque, Lead Heritage Conservator and Director of the Condé Museum and Marie-Laure Cassius-Duranton, Art Historian and Exhibition Content Project Manager at L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, for a fascinating discussion on this medieval treasure.
