Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry December by Limbourg Brothers
Year: 1413-1416
Medium: Illuminated manuscript on parchment
Description: A boar hunt is shown in the royal forest; you can tell it's the king's forest because the color blue is used. If you were caught hunting without permission here you would be punished, most likely by death. Chateau de Vincennes is shown in the background as well. Symbolic of the traditional roast pig Christmas dinner. Dutch.
