This illuminated manuscript page from Jean Fouquet's *Book of Hours* depicts a scene of conviction and punishment. The artwork from 1460 illustrates a man being burned at the stake in the foreground while a nobleman on horseback watches with his entourage. The scene includes detailed architectural elements and the use of decorative borders in the style of manuscript illumination. Jean Fouquet, a French painter and illuminator, was known for his realistic depiction of figures and landscapes. This miniature is a compelling example of the artistry of the 15th century in France. This image, now housed in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, provides insights into the rituals and social context of the medieval world.
