EDITORS COMMENTS
Peter IV, also known as Peter the Ceremonious, was the King of Aragon from 1336 until his death in 1387. This stunning Gothic art piece is an illustration taken from the "Llibre de Corts Generals," or the Book of the General Courts, an important legal text from the Kingdom of Aragon. The illustration features an initial N, intricately designed in the Gothic style, with the image of King Peter IV depicted in the upper right corner. King Peter IV is shown wearing the royal robes and crown, signifying his regal status. His expression is serious and regal, reflecting the importance of the proceedings of the Corts, or the General Courts, which were a significant assembly of the nobility, clergy, and other representatives of the realm, convened to discuss matters of state and pass legislation. The illustration is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the Gothic period in Spain, with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The painting was created in Palma de Mallorca, in the Archive of the Kingdom of Majorca, demonstrating the cultural exchange and artistic influence that took place between the various kingdoms and regions of the Iberian Peninsula during this time. Peter IV was known for his patronage of the arts and learning, and this illustration is a reminder of the important role that art and literature played in the political and cultural life of the medieval kingdoms of Spain. The intricately designed initial N and the image of the king serve as a visual representation of the power and authority of the monarchy during this period, as well as the artistic and cultural achievements of the Gothic tradition in Spain.
