EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting, titled "Chroniques" or "Chronicles" by Jean Froissart, depicts a significant moment in European history: the departure of Philippa of Hainault to marry Edward III of England in 1328. Froissart, a renowned chronicler and poet of the late Middle Ages, was a master of Gothic art, and this painting is a testament to his artistic skill. The scene unfolds in an upright composition, with the colorful image set against a dark background. At the center, we see Queen Philippa of Hainault, dressed in rich robes and wearing a crown, bidding farewell to her family and homeland as she embarks on her journey to England. Her expression is one of determination and resolve, reflecting the importance of this political union. Surrounding her are various members of the Hainault court, including her father, Count Guy of Flanders, and her siblings. They bid her a tearful farewell, their faces etched with sadness and concern. The artist has captured the emotional intensity of the moment with great sensitivity, using delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors to bring the scene to life. This painting is a precious gem from the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal (Library of the Arsenal) in Paris, France. It is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Middle Ages and the enduring legacy of Jean Froissart as a master of Gothic art and a chronicler of history.
