Note 52 — Chapter XIII · LES TRÈS RICHES HEURES DU DUC DE BERRY
Reading edition
It was in this castle that the Duc de Berry commissioned André Beauneveu, Pol Limbourg’s predecessor, to prepare for him a Book of Hours, subsequently completed with the assistance of Jacquemart de Hesdin. This MS., which contains a very characteristic portrait of the Duke himself, is now to be seen in the Library at Brussels. Beauneveu died in 1413, two years before the Brothers Limbourg appeared upon the horizon of French Art.
