This miniature, "Annunciation", is a masterpiece by the Limbourg brothers, renowned artists of the early 15th century. The scene depicts the Angel Gabriel announcing to the Virgin Mary that she will bear the Son of God. The richly decorated border, bursting with intricately detailed floral patterns and cherubic figures, showcases the Limbourg brothers' mastery of illumination, a hallmark of their artistic style. This miniature exemplifies the artistic excellence of manuscript illumination during the late Middle Ages and is a testament to the brothers' talent for capturing both the spiritual and the earthly aspects of biblical narratives.
