"The Visitation" is an illuminated manuscript page created by the Limbourg brothers, prominent artists of the early 15th century, who are best known for their work in the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. The scene depicts the biblical account of the Virgin Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. The brothers' meticulous detail is evident in the rich colors, the realistic landscape, and the intricate border decorations. The work, now housed in the Musée Condé, Chantilly, is a fine example of Late Gothic art and is a testament to the brothers’ skill in conveying both narrative and devotional sentiment.
