| Description | To illustrate these changes in literature and art, I would like to take two works: Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, written in England between 1387 and 1397, and the Limbourg Brothers' Tres Riches Heures du Due de Berry executed by the three brothers between 1413 and 1416 in the Rhenish-Mosan crescent of France. Although these works contain sections that are conventionalized, they are strikingly original in their realistic and secular focus, a highly innovative direction to take given the Middle Ages' tradition of religious figurativeness. |
