Painting Description
"Miniature from Le Livre du coeur d'amour épris" is an illuminated manuscript page created by the Netherlandish artist Barthélemy d'Eyck in the 15th century. It is part of a larger work, "Le Livre du Coeur d'Amour Épris" (The Book of the Love-Smitten Heart), which is an allegorical romance written by René I of Anjou, King of Naples and titular King of Jerusalem and Sicily. The manuscript, which combines both text and a series of richly detailed miniatures, was completed in 1457 and is considered a significant example of 15th-century French illumination.
The miniature in question is one of several within the manuscript that visually narrate the story penned by King René. The tale is an allegory of courtly love and chivalric adventure, depicting the journey of the protagonist, Heart, who is in search of Love. The narrative is infused with medieval symbolism and reflects the ideals and romantic culture of the chivalric period.
Barthélemy d'Eyck, a painter and manuscript illuminator, is credited with the creation of the miniatures. His work is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail, a rich palette, and a masterful use of light and shadow, which contribute to the depth and realism of the scenes. The miniatures are not only important for their artistic merit but also for their historical value, as they provide insight into the aesthetics, social customs, and cultural context of the time.
The "Miniature from Le Livre du coeur d'amour épris" is housed in the Austrian National Library in Vienna, under the codex reference A.F. 2595. It remains an important artifact of medieval art and literature, reflecting the intertwined nature of visual and textual storytelling in the late Middle Ages.
