Set in fifteenth-century France, this poetry collection delves into the transition from the medieval world to the Renaissance, addressing themes like the plague and artistic evolution. Inspired by the illuminations of the Tres Riches Heures, the poems examine the interplay between visual and verbal arts and history, revealing how they can prefigure, shape, or comment on historical events. Through a blend of subjects, the work offers a rich exploration of cultural transformation during a pivotal era.
