JPEG file comment | WEYDEN, Rogier van der
(b. 1400, Tournai, d. 1464, Bruxelles) Miniature from the first page of the Chroniques de Hainaut 1448 Opaque colours, gold, and pen and ink on parchment Bibliothèque Royal de Belgique, Brussels Although Duke Philip the Good often visited Brussels, there is no record of his ever having ordered a religious painting from Rogier. On the other hand, he did commission two portraits of himself from the artist. The originals are not extant, but have come down to us in many copies, so that they must in a certain sense have been official portraits of the duke. However, the original of one work done for Philip by Rogier's own hand is extant; surprisingly, this is not a panel painting but a miniature. It adorns the first page of the first volume of a French translation of the Hainault Chronicle, one of three extremely magnificent historical works commissioned by the duke in 1446 with a view to legitimising his claims to power and territory. Rogier's miniature was probably painted at the beginning of 1448, when the text had been written out by scribes. It was not unusual for 15th-century panel painters to turn to book illumination at times, and although there is no documentary evidence that Rogier himself painted this miniature, its style admits little doubt of his authorship. In contrast to older traditions, and unlike the other illustrations in the chronicle, its concept is entirely that of a panel painting. Light and shade and material reality are depicted as convincingly as in a large painting, and the faces of the main figures, in spite of their small size, are outstandingly good portraits and very typical of Rogier's work. There are hardly any other genuine portraits in illuminated books as a whole. Chancellor Nicolas Rolin, for instance, is known to us from panel paintings by Jan van Eyck (Louvre, Paris) and by Rogier (Musée Hôtel-Dieu, Beaune); he is easily recognizable as the blue-robed man in the scene of the presentation of the book, and Bishop Chevrot, beside him, can also be |
