Belles Heures Exhibit at The Met
New York Presentation to Be Expanded Version of Getty Museum Show
"The Belles Heures of the Duke of Berry" exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum will be expanded when it appears at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Belles Heures (1405-1408/09) of Jean, Duc de Berry, owned by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, was painted in France by the Limbourg Brothers. While the sumptuous book is unbound, its 90 illuminated leaves (pages) will be on view in a special exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum from November 18, 2008 to February 8, 2009.
The Met announced that in Fall 2009, when it displays The Belles Heures of the Duke of Berry, the show will be expanded with other works created for the Valois princes of the Late Middle Ages.
