MINIATURIST, Flemish
(active 1450s in Ghent)
Surrender of the Burghers of Ghent in 1453
c. 1454
Illumination on parchment, 20,8 x 14,7 cm
Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Vienna
The miniature comes from the manuscript Privileges and Statutes of Ghent and Flanders, the artist is referred to as the Master of the Privileges of Ghent and Flanders.
Philip the Good had this manuscript written and magnificently illuminated after his decisive victory over the citizens of Ghent. The full-page miniature faithfully depicts the scene described in the text, when the defeated burghers came out to meet Philip wearing only their shirts or a black robe, barefoot and bareheaded, and had to beg for mercy. We can see them surrendering their guild banners, symbols of civic self-determination.
