The miniature from the first page of the "Chroniques de Hainaut," created in 1448, is a significant work of Northern Renaissance art attributed to the Flemish painter Rogier van der Weyden or his workshop. This illuminated manuscript page is part of a larger collection of texts that chronicle the history of the County of Hainaut, a region that once spanned parts of modern-day Belgium and France. The manuscript is renowned for its richly detailed illustrations, which exemplify the opulent style and intricate craftsmanship characteristic of 15th-century Burgundian manuscript illumination.

The miniature in question is notable for its vivid portrayal of historical events and figures, rendered with a high degree of naturalism and emotional depth that is typical of van der Weyden's work. The use of vibrant colors, precise detailing, and complex iconography within the miniature reflects the sophistication of the Burgundian court's artistic tastes and the high value placed on manuscript illumination as a form of cultural and political expression during this period.

As a leading figure in the development of Early Netherlandish painting, Rogier van der Weyden's contributions to the art of manuscript illumination are considered pivotal in the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance style. The "Chroniques de Hainaut" miniature serves as an important testament to his artistic legacy and provides valuable insight into the cultural and historical milieu of 15th-century Europe.

The "Chroniques de Hainaut" is preserved in the collection of the Bibliothèque Royale de Belgique (Royal Library of Belgium), and its miniatures, including the one from the first page, are frequently studied by art historians and scholars for their aesthetic beauty and historical significance.
