Saint Nicolas accuse le consul

ca. 1200–1210
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 08
Ce panneau est l’un des deux qui composent la légende de saint Nicolas. Vêtu de rose et coiffé d’une mitre, Nicolas comparaît devant le consul, sous le regard attentif d’un garde du palais, pour demander la libération de chevaliers accusés à tort de trahison. Le panneau vient probablement de l’une des chapelles d’une travée ambulatoire de la cathédrale Saint-Nicolas à Soissons, dont le chœur était en construction dans les années 1190. La composition, constituée de panneaux historiés encadrés d’arcades, est l’une des premières manifestations d’un genre très étroitement associé à Soissons. Les élégantes silhouettes classicisantes aux vêtements fluides sont typiques du nord de la France à cette époque.
