EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature illustration depicts Jaime II (1243-1311), the illustrious King of Majorca from 1276 until his death in 1311. Jaime's reign marked a significant period in the history of the Balearic Islands, particularly Majorca, which was then part of the Crown of Aragon. The image showcases Jaime in regal attire, adorned with a crown and a mantle, holding a scepter in his right hand and a orb in his left. The intricate details of his clothing, the rich colors, and the delicate gold accents reflect the Gothic art style prevalent during the Middle Ages. The background of the miniature is filled with various symbols of power and authority. The open book on the table before him, titled "Llibre de les Franqueses i Privilegis," represents the laws and privileges granted by the king to his subjects. The castle and the city of Palma, the capital of Majorca, are depicted in the distance, symbolizing Jaime's rule over the kingdom. The coronation scene is believed to have been painted in the late 14th or early 15th century, as evidenced by the style and the details. The image is part of a larger folio from an archive in de l'Arxiu de la Corona d'Aragó, located in Barcelona, Spain. This valuable artifact offers a unique glimpse into the history and culture of the medieval kingdom of Majorca and the reign of its monarch, Jaime II.
