EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Gothic painting depicts James III of Mallorca, also known as James the Rash, who ruled the Kingdom of Mallorca from 1324 to 1349. Born in 1315, James was the eldest son of King Sancho I of Mallorca. At a young age, he gained a reputation for his impulsive and rash behavior, earning him the nickname 'the Rash.' The painting is taken from the Llibre de les Franqueses i Privilegis del Regne de Mallorca, a legal codex created between 1334 and 1339. The image is found on folio 374 and is a testament to the artistic and cultural flourishing of the Kingdom of Mallorca during the medieval period. James is depicted in regal attire, wearing a crown adorned with precious stones and holding a sword in his right hand. Angels surround him, symbolizing his divine right to rule. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details is characteristic of the Gothic art style prevalent during this time. The painting provides a glimpse into the life of a medieval monarch, showcasing his power, wealth, and divine connection. James III of Mallorca's reign was marked by conflicts with Aragon and the papacy, but this image captures a moment of triumph and majesty. The painting is now housed in the Archive of the Kingdom of Majorca in Palma de Mallorca, Baleares, Spain, and is a valuable reminder of the rich artistic and historical heritage of the region.
