EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting, created around 1410, depicts a detailed scene of two significant figures in the history of the Crown of Aragon: Peter III "the Great" (1240-1285) and Alfonso III "the Liberal" or "the Frank" (1265-1291). Peter III is shown on the left, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, symbolizing his role as King of the Crown of Aragon from 1276 to 1285. Alfonso III, Peter's son, is depicted on the right, also wearing a crown and holding a orb, signifying his reign as King of the Crown of Aragon from 1285 to 1291. The two kings are further identified by their titles: Alfonso III is referred to as "the Liberal" or "the Frank," likely due to his liberal policies and his mother's French origins. Peter III is known as "the Great" due to his military conquests and political achievements. The painting is an excellent example of Gothic art and is particularly noteworthy for its intricate detail and vibrant colors. It is believed to have been created in the Monastery of Poblet, located in the region of Lleida, Spain. The monastery, founded in 1151, is renowned for its rich artistic heritage and is a significant cultural landmark in the history of the Crown of Aragon. The painting also serves as an important genealogical record, illustrating the lineage of the kings of the Crown of Aragon and the counts of Barcelona. The image of Peter III and Alfonso III is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Crown of Aragon during the late Middle Ages.
