EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured within this exquisite illuminated manuscript is a rare glimpse into the prestigious Meeting of the Order of the Golden Fleece, presided over by none other than Charles the Bold himself. Crafted between 1475 and 1480, this remarkable work of art showcases the opulence and grandeur that characterized medieval courtly life. The scene unfolds in vibrant hues of gouache on parchment, as knights adorned in resplendent armor gather under Charles' watchful eye. The Duke of Burgundy's authoritative presence emanates from his regal attire and commanding posture, symbolizing his role as both protector and leader of this esteemed knighthood. Every intricate detail has been painstakingly rendered by an anonymous master illuminator hailing from Brabant or Flanders. From delicate brushstrokes to meticulously crafted gold leaf accents, their skill brings to life a moment frozen in time – a testament to their dedication to preserving history through art. As we delve deeper into this medieval masterpiece, we are transported back to an era where chivalry reigned supreme. This meeting serves not only as a celebration but also as an opportunity for these noble knights to reaffirm their commitment to honor, loyalty, and bravery – values embodied by the illustrious Order of the Golden Fleece. Now housed within the esteemed Collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France, this extraordinary manuscript continues its legacy as a treasured artifact that offers us invaluable insights into one of Europe's most revered orders.
