BRILL Qut£rendo 38 (2008) 95-97 ~ www.brill.nl/qua Introduction: The Homecoming of the Limbourg Brothers Born in Nijmegen, sometime between 1385 and 1390, Herman, Paul, and Jean de Limbourg left for France around 1400, where they were to develop an outstanding reputation at the prestigious court of Philip the Bold, duke of Burgundy and later that ofJean, duc de Berry. Nevertheless the brothers would maintain close links with their native city throughout their lives, following the example of their uncle Johan Maelwael - court painter of Queen Isabelle of France and the duke of Burgundy. The Limbourgs returned hom Paris and Bourges to Nijmegen and to their family on several occasions, the final visit occuring in 1415, less than a year before their untimely death. Although Her- man, Paul and Jean de Limbourg were barely thirty years old when they sud- denly died in 1416, they could already look back on a formidable career. Now, even almost six hundred years after their creation, their colourful and highly refined miniatures in the Belles Heures and TresRiches Heures du Duc de Berry still speak vividly to our imagination (illus. I). From August 26th through November 20th, 2005, Museum Het Valkhofin Nijmegen
