San Nicola accusa il console

ca. 1200–1210
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 08
Questo è uno dei due pannelli che rappresentano la leggenda di san Nicola. Nicola, con una veste rosa e la mitra sul capo, appare davanti al console locale per chiedere il rilascio di cavalieri falsamente accusati di tradimento. Una guardia di palazzo assiste alla scena. Il pannello forse proveniva da una cappella del deambulatorio di san Nicola nella cattedrale di Soissons, il cui coro era in fase di costruzione nell’ultimo decennio del XII secolo. La composizione, in cui ciascun elemento narrativo è incorniciato da un’arcata, è tra i più antichi esempi di uno stile fortemente legato alla città di Soissons. Le eleganti figure classicheggianti e il drappeggio sinuoso sono tipici dell’arte della Francia settentrionale in quell’ epoca.
