Medieval illustration from a Book of Hours or medieval chronicle, France, 15th century, illustration style: Limbourg brothers, Jean Fouquet. In the lower foreground of the painting, two noblemen, a woman and a man, stroll hand in hand in a garden in front of a Gothic castle perched on a hill in the distance. The woman wears an elaborate, high-waisted, golden-yellow dress decorated with intricate red designs, including floral motifs and geometric patterns. A wide black belt with small round decorations cinches her waist, and the train of the dress trails along the ground. The woman wears a tall Gothic cone-shaped headdress <hennin> with a black lapel on her head and an intricate red and gold pattern, wrapped and decorated with a delicate white sheer veil that falls down her back to the ground. Her expression is neutral as she looks slightly to the right. To her right stands a young man dressed in a bright red short <doublet> with broad shoulders and long sleeves, gold trim around the neck and a gold pectoral cross. He wears black tight trousers <chausses> and on his head a tapering top hat with a rounded top and a narrow brim with a gold button in the center. He has reddish-brown, luxuriant hair that falls just below his ears. His expression is calm and attentive as he looks straight ahead. Both wear elaborate dark shoes <poulaines>; their toes are very pointed and elongated, emphasizing the fashion of the time. They stand against a landscape of green grass, flowers and apple trees. Above them, in the background, two large gray horses graze in a garden, and behind them, at the very top, on a green hill surrounded by a river, rises a medieval castle with Gothic domes against a blue sky. The overall mood of the work is pastoral, captured in soft, even lighting that highlights the rich textures and colours of their clothing without casting harsh shadows. Illustration style: Limbourg brothers, Jean Fouquet. Medieval illustration of the late Gothic period, 15th century, The Magnificent Book of Hours of the Duc de Berry, Illuminated manuscript.
