EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical moment captured in the Tribute from the citizens of Barcelona to Count King or oath of vasallage miniature. Created during the 14th or 15th century, this illuminated manuscript is part of the Llibre Verd (Green Book), which compiles customs, privileges, and habits of Barcelona. The miniaturists Arnau de Pena and Mateo Caldero skillfully brought this scene to life with their intricate illustrations. In this Gothic-style artwork, we witness a solemn ceremony taking place in medieval Catalonia. The citizens of Barcelona are depicted dressed in their civilian clothes, demonstrating their loyalty and allegiance to the monarch seated on a grand throne adorned with real attributes. With heads bowed and hands raised, they offer their oath of vassalage to the count king as a symbol of submission and obedience. The vibrant colors used in this illustration add depth and richness to every detail - from the ornate crown atop the monarch's head to the falcon perched nearby. This visual masterpiece provides us with valuable insights into feudalism during that era on Iberian Peninsula. Preserved within the Municipal Archive of History in Barcelona, Spain, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Catalonia's rich history and its enduring bond with its rulers. It stands as an important reminder of past traditions while offering us glimpses into medieval society through its meticulous illumination techniques.
