EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting depicts Marie de France, a prolific 12th century writer from France, known for her collection of romantic stories and poems, "Les Lais." The portrait, housed in the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal (Library of the Arsenal) in Paris, is a prime example of Gothic art from the period. Marie de France, also referred to as Marie d'Angleterre due to her English origins, was a remarkable figure in medieval literature. Her works, which include both French and Anglo-Norman texts, showcase her exceptional storytelling abilities and her deep understanding of human emotions. "Les Lais," her most famous work, is a series of interconnected tales that explore themes of love, desire, and the supernatural. The painting itself is a colorful and intricate masterpiece. Marie is depicted in an upright position, dressed in the fashion of the time, with a serious yet gentle expression on her face. Her hands are folded in her lap, suggesting contemplation or prayer. The background is adorned with various symbols and motifs, including flowers, birds, and geometric patterns, which are characteristic of Gothic art. The Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, located in the historic heart of Paris, is home to an extensive collection of medieval manuscripts and printed books. This portrait of Marie de France is just one of the many treasures that can be found within its walls, offering a glimpse into the rich literary and artistic heritage of the Middle Ages.
