San Nicolás acusa al cónsul

ca. 1200–1210
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 08
Este es uno de dos paneles basados en la leyenda de San Nicolás. Vestido con ropajes color de rosa y tocado con una mitra, Nicolás se presenta ante el cónsul para pedir la libertad de unos caballeros falsamente acusados de traición. Un guardia del palacio presencia la escena. Es probable que este panel provenga de la capilla de San Nicolás en el deambulatorio de la catedral de Soissons, cuyo coro estaba en construcción en 1190–1100. La composición de esta escena, con los elementos narrativos enmarcados en una arcada, es uno de los ejemplos más antiguos del estilo asociado con Soissons. Las elegantes figuras clasicistas y los ondulantes ropajes son típicos del arte de la Francia septentrional en esa época.
