WORKSHOP OF PIERRE REMIET. Leaf from a Manuscript of Valerius Maximus

Leaf from a Manuscript of Valerius Maximus. Artist: Workshop of Pierre Remiet (documented 1368-1396). Culture: French. Dimensions: Overall: 15 3/16 x 11 3/4 in. (38.6 x 29.8 cm)
Study mat: 19 3/16 x 14 3/16 in. (48.8 x 36.1 cm). Date: ca. 1380-90.
Charles V of France (r. 1364-80) actively encouraged the translation into French of classical texts, including the writings of Valerius Maximus, a first-century Roman historian. The illustrations here show how the artists of Charles' circle evoked the ancient world.
The lower panels illustrate tales of Roman religion. At left, a priestess kneels before an altar of Ceres, goddess of grain, in an image that resembles scenes of Christians kneeling before the Virgin Mary. At the lower right, a Roman priest loses his official hat and consequently his job. His hat resembles a bishop's miter, and the Roman temple a Gothic church. The upper two panels juxtapose the ancient and the medieval. The translator Simon de Hesdin (left) presents his text to Charles V. At the right, Valerius Maximus receives the emperor Tiberius, to whom the text was dedicated.
