This illumination, "God in Majesty," is from the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, created by the Limbourg brothers in the early 15th century. The image depicts God as a majestic figure seated on a cloud with a halo, surrounded by angels. Below him, the landscape contains a row of trees and two ships sailing on a calm sea, suggesting the vastness of God's creation. The detail and vibrancy of the colors demonstrate the artistry of the Limbourg brothers, who were pioneers of Early Netherlandish art.
