{"product_id":"psalm-xxxix-limbourg-brothers","title":"Psalm XXXIX - Limbourg brothers","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine art print of an illuminated manuscript folio by the Limbourg brothers, featuring a scene from Psalm XXXIX with gold leaf and Gothic script.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis illumination originates from the Belles Heures, a devotional book commissioned by Jean, Duc de Berry, from the Limbourg brothers. The brothers, Paul, Herman, and Jean, were active in France during the early fifteenth century and produced some of the most refined examples of International Gothic manuscript painting. This specific folio depicts a scene associated with Psalm XXXIX, showing a crowned figure kneeling amidst a rocky, fiery terrain. The composition balances the narrative miniature with the surrounding text, which is written in a formal Gothic script. The use of gold leaf and pigments reflects the high status of the commission and the technical skill of the artists. The miniature demonstrates the characteristic attention to detail found in the work of the Limbourgs, particularly in the rendering of the flames and the expressive posture of the central figure. The decorative elements, including the foliate border and the historiated initial, integrate the image into the page layout. The Belles Heures is a significant example of the collaboration between patron and artist, representing the aesthetic preferences of the French court during this period. The work displays the characteristic features of the International Gothic style, such as the elegant lines, the use of bright colours, and the focus on courtly refinement, even when depicting dramatic or penitential subjects. The manuscript is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it remains a primary source for the study of medieval book arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/alexander-the-great-orders-a-tomb-for-his-horse-bucephalus-leonaert-bramer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAlexander the Great Orders a Tomb for his Horse Bucephalus - Leonaert Bramer — Leonaert Bramer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/sugdayya-konstantin-bogaevsky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSugdayya - Konstantin Bogaevsky — Konstantin Bogaevsky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Limbourg brothers","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58724453908815,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58724509090127,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58724509122895,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58724509155663,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58724509188431,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58724509221199,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58724509253967,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58724509286735,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58724509319503,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58724509352271,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58724509385039,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58724509417807,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Psalm-XXXIX_Poster_CompositorV1_1788956979510.jpg?v=1788957682","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/psalm-xxxix-limbourg-brothers","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
