Current Exhibition
|
|
See over 80 spectacular paintings from The Belles Heures ("beautiful hours") of the Duke of Berry, a masterpiece of medieval manuscript illumination. A highlight of The Cloisters Collection, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the book was recently unbound to allow for restoration, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view all of its major miniatures in a single display. Don't miss the chance to see the Belles Heures unbound for the first time in its 600-year history.
Adapt the lesson "Telling Stories: Symbols of a Life" to teach about narrative in these paintings. High school students can identify the narrative elements in the images, and learn how artists use symbolic imagery to communicate the larger narrative. Students then write their own narratives about a person and use visual symbols to create an illumination that communicates important events in that individual's personal narrative.
View the lesson "Telling Stories: Symbols of a Life."
See how medieval books were made and learn more about the exhibition The Belles Heures of the Duke of Berry, on view through February 8, 2009.
