Leaf from a Manuscript of Valerius Maximus 1375 - 1385

This illuminated manuscript leaf, created between 1375 and 1385 by the workshop of Pierre Remiet, depicts scenes from the Roman historian Valerius Maximus's *Facta et Dicta Memorabilia* (Memorable Deeds and Sayings). The manuscript is intricately decorated with a border of swirling vines, adding to its beauty and elegance. Typical of the era, this work showcases detailed figures and a richly colored palette, characteristic of the late Gothic style. This leaf from the manuscript is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
