Original Description
The October scene from Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry (1412-16) by the Limbourg brothers captures autumn’s golden splendor with breathtaking precision. Against a backdrop of the Louvre Palace—then a royal residence—laborers till fields and sow seeds while aristocrats ride gracefully across a shimmering river. The vivid ultramarine blues, burnished golds, and delicate greens epitomize International Gothic style, blending naturalism with courtly elegance. Commissioned by the lavish bibliophile Duke Jean de Berry, this illuminated manuscript page epitomizes late medieval artistry, merging sacred calendars with secular grandeur. Its exquisite details—from the shadow play on the plowman’s clothing to the castle’s architectural intricacy—make it a pinnacle of 15th-century illumination, revered for elevating everyday life into poetic tableau.
For a study or lounge, a framed reproduction of October adds refined historical depth. Opt for a gilded or walnut frame to echo the manuscript’s luxurious origins, and hang it at eye level (a 16x20” or larger print ensures legibility). Complement its rich palette with warm neutrals—oatmeal linen sofas, terracotta accents—or lean into regal drama with navy walls and brass lighting. In offices, pair it with streamlined furniture to balance its ornate style; the scene’s agrarian rhythm also suits sunlit spaces near plants or wood finishes. For cohesive storytelling, group it with other Très Riches Heures months or botanical sketches, maintaining 3–4” spacing between frames. The painting’s blend of labor and leisure makes it equally inspiring in creative studios or executive spaces, celebrating both diligence and beauty.*
