October - the Louvre, 15th century, (1939). 'Octobre - Le Louvre'. Peasants sowing seed in a ploughed field: the man on the right is broadcasting by hand, as magpies eat the fallen grain. The man on the left uses a weighted harrow to cover the seed. Behind is a scarecrow holding a bow, with the River Seine and the Louvre Palace in Paris beyond. Originally a fortress built in the medieval period, the Louvre became a royal palace in the fourteenth century. A page from the "Tr?s Riches Heures du Duc de Berry", a book of hours produced for Jean, Duc de Berry and commissioned from the Limbourg brothers. Made between c1412 and 1489, and regarded as one of the finest examples of European manuscript illumination, it is held at the Musee Cond?, Chantilly, France. Published in "Verve - No. 7, Vol. II". [Verve, France, 1939]
