EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment, as Jean Wauquelin presents his masterpiece, the Chroniques de Hainaut, to Philip the Good in 1447. The scene is set in the opulent surroundings of the Bibliothèque royale de Belgique, where this illuminated manuscript now resides. The image showcases the grandeur and sophistication of Burgundy during this period. Philip III, also known as Philip the Good, was a powerful Duke of Burgundy who patronized many artists and scholars. Here we witness him receiving this exquisite work from Wauquelin, an esteemed writer and knight. The illumination on parchment brings out every intricate detail of this medieval artwork. The gouache technique used adds depth and richness to each stroke. This miniature perfectly encapsulates early Netherlandish art with its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors. Notable figures such as Charles I (also known as Charles the Bold or Charles the Rash) can be seen observing this historic event alongside Nicolas Rolin. Their presence emphasizes both their importance in Burgundian history and their appreciation for fine arts. This photograph serves as a window into a bygone era when manuscripts were treasured possessions that showcased wealth, knowledge, and artistic skill. It invites us to delve into history's pages while marveling at the craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
