Les très riches heures du Duc de Berry (3/4)
July
More of the harvest; the sheep are being shorn and the
hay is being reaped. The chateau behind them is that which
formerly stood on the Clain at Poitiers.
August
The month of hawking; the nobles, carrying falcons, are
going hunting while in the background peasants are harvesting
and swimming in the river. Behind them is the Chateau
d'Etampes.
September
Probably the most famous of the calendar images. The grapes
are being harvested by the peasants and carried into the
beautifully detailed Chateau de Saumur.
