I98. F. 58r: MINIATURE TO BOOK FIVE

Volume 2.

The two episodes depicted in this miniature are united by

Gothic arches, yet they take place in independent architectural

surroundings. On the left is Fortune and her wheel which

raised and then dropped Alexander the Great, who is twice

represented. On the right under the tent is Eurydice, Queen of

Macedonia, enthroned and surrounded by court dignitaries

who are poisoning her son-in-law and two elder sons (see O.

Pacht and D. Thoss; the same subject in the manuscript from

Chantilly is interpreted as the three stages of the poisoning of

Alexander the Great).

Вам будет интересно сравнить миниатюры двух книг. Здесь нет бескрайних просторов, характерных для предыдущего манускрипта, но рисунок детальней и точней по форме. Есть намёк на падающие тени от ног людей.
