The Met Store Sunburst Correspondence Cards

The piece is also decorated with the coat of arms of the Bavarian noble family Freiberg von Aschau, and may have belonged to Pankraz von Freiberg (1508-1565).

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Limbourg Brothers: The Belles Heures of Jean de France, duc de Berry Holiday Cards
31.9 USD
Send season's greetings with art holiday cards from The Met. The spectacular image on these artful holiday cards comes from a private devotional book at The Met Cloisters. The Belles Heures, or Beautiful Hours, of Jean de France, duc de Berry, was probably made in Paris between 1405 and 1408 or 1409. Commissioned by Jean de France, duc de Berry, from the illustrious Limbourg brothers (Franco-Netherlandish, active France, by 1399-1416), it's the only manuscript the brothers completed in its entirety, and it's regarded among the most marvelous extant illuminations of its kind. Using a luminous palette, the artists united Italianate details with an intimate Northern vision of nature. Their keen interest in the natural world foreshadowed the work of Jan van Eyck (Netherlandish, ca. 1390-1441) and the subsequent generations of 15th-century regional painters.
