The artwork titled “David and Nathan,” created by the Limbourg brothers, belongs to the art movement known as International Gothic. This piece is part of the “Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry” series and falls under the genre of illustration.
The artwork portrays a scene featuring two figures, one seated and adorned in regal attire with a crown, and the other standing while gesturing with a hand. The seated figure, presumably King David, is draped in blue and gold robes, while the standing figure, likely Nathan the prophet, is clad in a red garment and a hat. The figures are depicted within an ornate architectural setting with intricate details, including carved elements on a throne-like chair and lush natural scenery in the background. The illumination is framed by richly embellished text, adorned with decorative elements, and rendered in a refined Gothic script, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail typical of the International Gothic style.
