This video focuses on a medieval manuscript illustration depicting agricultural labor in June. It comes from the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. Barefoot peasants are shown raking hay and cutting grass under a clear blue sky, offering a glimpse into life in the Middle Ages. The illumination, a stunning example of medieval art, was created for Jean de Valois, Duke of Berry, around 1412–16 CE.
