EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical significance of Ms 210 fol. 23v, known as "The Donation of Gonnor, Duchess of Normandy". The artwork is a part of the Cartulaire de Mont-Saint-Michel, a collection of charters documenting grants to religious institutions during the 12th century. In this scene, Gonnor (also referred to as Gunnora), the second wife of Richard I The Fearless, Duke of Normandy, is depicted making a generous donation to the monastery of Mont Saint-Michel. Seated on an ornate throne with a scroll in hand, she presents her gift with grace and authority. The image not only captures Gonnor's act of charity but also provides insight into medieval manuscript production and female writers during that era. It is believed that this particular cartulary was created for Robert de Torigni or his predecessor Abbot Geoffrey. The photograph offers us a glimpse into history by showcasing both artistic and literary elements. The intricate details in the Romanesque architecture surrounding Gonnor add depth to the composition while highlighting her noble status. Preserved in Avranches' Bibliotheque Municipale since its rescue from destruction during World War II, this rare surviving source sheds light on Mont Saint-Michel's past after losing its archives. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and learn from this remarkable piece from French history.
