“Saint-Louis protecting the widow and the orphan”
Tokyo, 2023 commission work
Size: A5
Goat parchment
24kt gold
Gouache painting
The king conducts a trial in front of the oak which symbolizes wisdom. The composition of this picture refers to a stained glass of a church in France. The future owner feels attached to it.
I painted the medieval priest in the middle at the bottom of the page with the image of the future owner in mind. Orderers were often depicted in medieval manuscripts.
You can make an illuminated manuscript with your own image on it!
