Duc de Berry

Duc de Berry French tapestry shows is based on the work of Jean de France, from the Book of Hours from the Middle Ages. The Duke of Berry title was given to younger members of the French royal family. This tapestry shows the month of May, the month of love. Here we see a couple on horseback in the countryside courting, accompanied by other courtiers, in a lush forest with the castle and river in the background nestled with the mountains behind. It is an example of medieval art which portrays the joys of daily life in the times, and shows the garments, the traditions and activities of nobility in that era. This Duc de Berry tapestry is backed with a lining and a tunnel for easy hanging.
