"Paradise" is an illumination by the Limbourg brothers, a group of artists active in the early 15th century. This highly detailed miniature depicts the Virgin Mary and Christ enthroned above a throng of angels and saints, their faces all individual and expressive. The scene is framed by two elaborate architectural columns, highlighting the celestial nature of the depiction and the artists' skill in conveying a sense of architectural grandeur. The use of gold leaf and vibrant colors contribute to the overall impression of heavenly splendor, a key element in medieval religious art. This work showcases the intricate detail and meticulous execution that characterized the Limbourg brothers' style, which was a major influence in the development of 15th-century Northern Renaissance art.
