The artwork, titled “The Holy Sacrament [of the Eucharist],” was created by the Limbourg brothers in 1416 in France. It is an illustration that falls under the International Gothic art movement and is part of the “Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry” series.
The artwork is a highly detailed and vibrant illustration that showcases a scene within an ornate Gothic cathedral. At the top, elaborately designed Gothic arches and columns frame a central altar, which is intricately decorated. The art captures a moment of reverence and religious observance, with elegantly dressed figures gesturing towards the central altar on a checkered, multi-colored floor. The background reveals meticulously painted stained glass windows and elaborate architectural details, demonstrating the craftsmanship and devotion of the period. The lower portion of the artwork depicts an outdoor scene, where a white horse is the focal point, surrounded by figures in contemporary attire against the backdrop of a medieval cityscape. The golden frame of the artwork is adorned with statues and inscriptions, further emphasizing its sacred and historical significance.
