French 13th Century
1270–1270
French 13th Century was an artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.
This artist worked in the last decades of the 13th century, painting scenes from the Bible on vellum with gold leaf and bright colors. Try the Joshua before the Lord panel, where the Israelite leader kneels as the sun stands still overhead in crisp gold and tempera. Or open the Beauvais Missal leaf to see a single page from a medieval prayer book, its letters and figures outlined in black ink and gouache. Tap either image to zoom into brushwork that’s almost 800 years old.
