Just as many of us wear the color green on St. Patrick’s Day, everyone wore green for May Day. On the page for May in Les Tres Riches Heures, the Limbourg brothers depict an aspect of the May Day festivities. Three  princesses, sumptuously dressed in green, are shown riding caparisoned horses. The headresses of the girls are bedecked with leaves and flora. Accompanying them are 2 men, one wearing the royal livery of France  (a prince?) and the other a brocaded coat strewn with golden flowers (the Duc de Berry?)</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/16117C67-9F60-4B87-A464-5BCF796F968A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
