FEATURES IN THESE COLLECTIONS
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting, titled "Doctrine Chretienne" and hailing from the French school of the 13th century, is a breathtaking example of Gothic art currently housed in the Valencia University Library in Spain. The intricately detailed scene unfolds on page 102, with a commensal feast taking place at a long table adorned with gold-painted crockery and tableware. The banquet appears to be in full swing, with a man and a woman seated across from each other, engaged in animated conversation. The man, dressed in the fashion of the Middle Ages, holds a cup in his hand, while the woman, with a curious expression, reaches for a morsel of food. But the serene atmosphere is disrupted by an unexpected turn of events. A dog, perhaps startled or disturbed by the commotion, is seen vomiting at the feet of the man. The woman, seemingly unfazed, continues to reach for her meal, while the man looks on in surprise. This scene, though seemingly mundane, offers a glimpse into the daily life of medieval European society. The presence of the dog adds an element of realism, reminding us that even in the most formal of settings, the natural world could intrude. The use of gold in the painting adds to its grandeur, making it a true treasure of Gothic art.
