The Virgin with Angels
mid-14th c.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, workshops in Paris specialized in the production of ivory objects – works that came particularly close to the then current ideals of courtly luxury and representation. They comprised devotional images as well as small boxes and mirror cases with depictions of subjects taken from courtly love poetry (Minne). Those objects also contributed to the dissemination of Gothic formal language and its topics throughout Europe.
