A place to talk about art on Farcaster. Artwork created by jacob.eth

The miniature "Mysterious Garden" illustrates the poem Dit du Lion in Guillaume de Machaut’s book of poems, 1355-1360. Despite the stylized background decorated with golden arabesques, this cheerful nature scene is regarded as one of the oldest real landscape studies in the history of European art. 

1350-1355, 300 x 210 mm (folio size)
