Sainte Marguerite et Olibrius, dit aussi Marguerite gardant les moutons

Heures d'Étienne Chevalier, enluminées par Jean Fouquet

Paris, musée du Louvre, département des Miniatures et Enluminures, M. I. 1093, Photo RMN

Cet épisode de la vie de sainte Marguerite est emprunté à la Légende dorée de Jacques de Voragine. Fouquet a saisi le moment où le préfet Olibrius regagnant son château se détache de sa suite pour contempler Marguerite, dont il est subitement tombé amoureux. Indifférente au regard qui se pose sur elle, la jeune bergère, debout auprès de ses compagnes, file la quenouille en gardant les bêtes de sa nourrice devant un paisible paysage de campagne, où les champs s'étendent à perte de vue.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The original image comprising the work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason: This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired. This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term. العربية | Asturianu | Български | Català | Česky | Dansk | Deutsch | English | Ελληνικά | Esperanto | Español | Euskara | فارسی | Français | Gaeilge | Galego | עברית | हिन्दी | Bahasa Indonesia | Italiano | 日本語 | 한국어 | Kurdî / كوردی | Lietuvių | Magyar | Nederlands | ‪Norsk (nynorsk)‬ | Bahasa Melayu | Polski | Português | Română | Русский | Slovenčina | Slovenščina | Shqip | Suomi | Sámegiella | Türkçe | ‪中文(简体)‬ | ‪中文(繁體)‬ | 粵語 | +/- Under United States copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright work may not be protected under U.S.copyright law.
