{"product_id":"the-flight-into-egypt-limbourg-brothers","title":"The Flight into Egypt - Limbourg brothers","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine art print of the Flight into Egypt, a miniature from the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, showcasing the refined detail of International Gothic illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis miniature originates from the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, a manuscript commissioned by Jean, Duke of Berry, and executed by the Limbourg brothers: Herman, Paul, and Jean. The work represents the International Gothic style, characterised by its attention to detail, decorative borders, and the use of expensive pigments such as ultramarine and gold leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene depicts the Holy Family during their journey to Egypt. The Virgin Mary sits atop a donkey, cradling the infant Jesus, while Saint Joseph walks alongside, carrying a staff and a pack. An angel descends from above, guiding their path. The composition is contained within a rectangular frame, surrounded by a dense, foliate border typical of early fifteenth-century French and Flemish book production. The figures are rendered with a focus on narrative clarity, set against a rocky, stylised terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Limbourg brothers were active in the court of the Duke of Berry, and their work reflects the tastes of the Burgundian nobility. The manuscript is celebrated for its technical precision and the application of colour, which remains remarkably preserved. The border features delicate vine work and small, heraldic-style motifs, which frame the central narrative. This piece provides a window into the devotional practices and artistic production of the late medieval period. The figures display the characteristic elegance of the period, with flowing drapery and refined facial features. The use of space is relatively shallow, prioritising the decorative quality of the page over realistic perspective. This print captures the fine details of the original vellum, including the texture of the ink and the luminosity of the pigments, allowing for a close examination of the brothers' technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-streltsy-uprising-ivan-bilibin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Streltsy Uprising - Ivan Bilibin — Ivan Bilibin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/coronation-of-the-virgin-fra-angelico\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCoronation of the Virgin - Fra Angelico — Fra Angelico\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Limbourg brothers","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58435792765263,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58435803677007,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58435803709775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58435803742543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58435803775311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58435803808079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58435803840847,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58435803873615,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58435803906383,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58435803939151,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58435803971919,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58435804004687,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Flight-into-Egypt_Poster_CompositorV1_1786205919637.jpg?v=1786327690","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-flight-into-egypt-limbourg-brothers","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
