Folio 108r - Hell
This piece of Medieval Gothic art was created by the Limbourg Brothers - Herman, Paul, and Jean de Limbourg (active in France by 1399, died by 1416). It depicts Lucifer in hell, torturing the souls and being tortured himself.
The Devil is shown to be laying on top of a large grill and throwing souls of the deceased into the air with the might of his burning breath. Two demons are on the sides, blowing air under the grill to keep the flames burning. Others inflict harm on mortal souls, including that of a monk still wearing his vestments.

MWW Artwork of the Day (1/25/23) Limbourg Brothers (Dutch, fl. 1385–1416) Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry: Fall and the Expulsion from Paradise (c. 1416) Tempera on vellum, 29.4 x 21 cm. Musée Condé, Chantilly
The picture has no frame, the border of the whole representation being provided by the wall of Paradise. It is from this frame that Adam and Eve have to enter a world which has no boundaries, in which the very shores of the sea vanish, apparently turning into clouds in the infinity of space. Although the ground of the Garden of Eden is stretched behind the figures like a tapestry, it is not merely a decorative surface, since the gradual darkening of the fresh green lawn conveys spatiality. In fact the hardly discernible nuances of green seem to lend the circle a spherical quality. The painter's intention in this respect is also evinced by the use of perspective in the delineation of the fountain and also of the gate (for example, the roof of the fountain is seen and represented from below, whereas its hexagonal basin appears as if seen from above; indeed, the latter does not turn as steeply into the plane of the picture as does the ground itself).

A lil bit of fan art
Reading @qqueenofhades’ The Unknown and Static Strange has overtaken my brain lately. So I just had to do my own tiny take on the illuminations she described. And it is pretty tiny: only 2x3”.
Image ID: Morpheus sits on a blue throne with his ruby around his neck and a raven on his shoulder against a field of blue lapis lazuli. He’s framed by a red border and “gold leaf” with gilt knot work interwoven with poppies. The illumination is labeled “Regis Somnorum” in blue gothic miniscules and gold/blue drop caps.
I tried to take as much inspiration from the Limbourg Brothers who are known for their sumptuous blues in their Book of Hours as I could. Lapis Lazuli was one of the most expensive pigments (if not the most). So despite red/black being Morpheus’ “thing”, I think they would have denoted his royalty with lots of blue. Poppies of course for the symbolism.
Overall, lots of fun to work in miniature after seeing some miniature illuminations at the art museum recently. If I could paint it again, I’d plan out the calligraphy better before painting to give enough space to have it all on one line.
Now, go read this amazing and suspenseful story!!

The Garden of Eden c.1416 by the Limbourg Brothers.
📍Musée Condé, Chantilly, France.
The Limbourg Brothers (Herman, Paul and Johan) were famous Dutch miniature painters. They were active in early 15th century France and Burgundy and worked in the International Gothic style. They came from an artistic family and their uncle was a painter for the Duke of Burgundy. When the Duke died in 1404, the future was uncertain for the brothers until the Duke of Berry took them on. It is believed that all three brothers died in a wave of the plague that hit Europe in 1416. The brothers' legacy was lost in time until the mid 19th century when the Duke of Amale purchased the 'Trés Riches Heures' in 1856.
International Gothic is a period of Gothic art that began in Burgundy, France, and Northern Italy in the late 14th and early 15th century. Initially, it was a style of courtly sophistication, but more robust versions spread to art commissioned by the emerging mercantile classes and lesser nobility. Natural forms are smoothed away, leaving behind realism, reflecting the pageantry of courtly life. Artists and portable works, such as illuminated manuscripts, travelled around Europe and were stimulated by the growing rivalry of the European royal courts.
The miniature, from Trés Riches Heures depicts the fall and expulsion from Paradise. In the centre stands an ornate Late Gothic edifice of the Fountain of Life. On the left we see the temptation; Satan, with the lower half of a serpent, tempts Eve, handing apples over to her, who, in turn is seen handing one of the apples over to Adam. God reproaches them in the centre of the scene, the ray of his halo emphasises his words while counting the sins on his hands. Adam points at Eve, who hides her sinful hand behind her back. In the last scene on the right a fiery angel ushers them out of Paradise as they look back through the gate.

The director of Germany’s state-funded national broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) is apologizing for allegations of antisemitism at the network for the second time in less than a year, amid a furor over the broadcast of comments from a Hamas spokesman that failed to provide any broader context.
“The editors made mistakes here, which we expressly regret and have corrected,” DW’s director Peter Limbourg said in a statement, after the station broadcast a report on Tuesday that featured Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem calling Israel’s newly-elected right-wing government “terrorist, fascist, racist like never before” and threatening an “escalation at all levels.”
The first broadcast of the report omitted to mention Qassem’s affiliation with Hamas and did not include any explanation of the Islamist organization’s declared goal of eliminating Israel as a sovereign Jewish state. After these lapses were pointed out, the video was reedited to account for them.
Limbourg said those responsible for the initial version of the report had been “strongly admonished.” He emphasized that he viewed this latest incident with “particular regret because we have made tremendous efforts over the past year to educate the editorial staff on the issues of antisemitism and hatred of Israel.”
