EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration hails from the epic poem "L'Entrea d'Espagna" (The Entrance into Spain), penned in the 14th century, which narrates Charlemagne's legendary expedition to Spain. The miniature painting, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Gothic era, originates from Italy, specifically Venice, and is now housed in the esteemed Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana (St. Mark's Library). The image portrays the right of asylum in convents and churches, a significant theme in the poem. Charlemagne's soldiers are depicted seeking refuge within the protective walls of a convent, their horses tethered outside. The tranquil sanctuary offers respite from the tumultuous battlefield, symbolizing the spiritual and physical safety that these religious institutions provided during times of conflict. The intricate details of the illustration reveal the mastery of the Gothic art style, with its emphasis on ornate patterns, rich colors, and elongated figures. The delicate brushstrokes and the use of gold leaf add to the opulence and grandeur of the artwork. The poem "L'Entrea d'Espagna" is a fascinating blend of history, mythology, and chivalry, and this illustration serves as a visual representation of its narrative. The right of asylum in convents and churches is a poignant reminder of the role these institutions played in providing sanctuary and protection during the Middle Ages. This exquisite miniature painting is a precious treasure in the vast collection of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, offering a glimpse into the artistic and historical past of Europe.
