 Petites Heures of the Duke de Berry
For Jean de France, Duke of Berry, the most renowned illuminators of the late 14th century created a work of art which, because of its rich and delicate painting, is considered by scientists and art historians alike to be one of the most magnificent artefacts of the Late Middle Ages.
Berry's world was one of strife, with major upheaval and social unrest: at war with England and torn by the great schism of the church, France faced cruel and bloody civil war.
Early on, Berry fostered gifted artists by inspiring them with his ideas, by contracting for works of art, by providing financial support, and by his passionate collecting of paintings and his great love of books: he was one of the greatest bibliophiles of the Middle Ages.

Ashland artist Craig Honeycutt was intrigued by the beautifully detailed paintings in the “Very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry,” an illuminated manuscript painted for the French Duke of Berry by manuscript illustrators Herman, Jean and Paul Limburg.
The brothers began painting the images in the prayer book in about 1413 but died in 1416 before the age of 30, most likely because of the Plague or some other epidemic, according to scholars with Paris-based WebMuseum.
While the paintings from the “Very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry” feature castles, Honeycutt chose the Oregon Shakespeare Festival to be the castle in his drawings.
