Las Horas de Jeanne d'Evreux, reina de Francia

ca. 1324–28
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 13
Delicados tonos de gris (grisalla) imparten un inesperado carácter escultórico a las escenas de las vidas de Cristo y de San Luis recogidas en este diminuto volumen. En la imagen, San Luis, encerrado en una prisión, recibe milagrosamente su libro de oraciones. Alrededor de setecientos dibujos marginales representan a los obispos, mendigos, bailarines y músicos del París medieval, así como simios, conejos, perros y criaturas imaginarias. Todos ellos cobran vida gracias a la penetrante observación, imaginación y talento pictórico del artista. Este libro de horas era para el uso particular de la reina durante sus plegarias a lo largo del día. Jeanne d’Evreux lo legó al rey Carlos V en 1371. A la muerte del rey, pasó a formar parte de la colección de su hermano Jean de Francia, duque de Berry.
