Between the two, a sort of hiatus was established: the emergence of the great cathedrals was then completed, the Rayonnant style continued its refinements without truly renewing itself, the creative genius of the artists seemed to flourish outside the kingdom.

Some groups, dispersed following demolitions, such as that of the angels of Saint-Louis de Poissy, were able to be reconstituted. Others, notably the admirable statues commissioned by Enguerrand de Marigny for the collegiate church of Notre-Dame d'Écouis and executed around 1310-1313, benefited from a dazzling display. Sculpture, like other arts, shows that the king, his family and his entourage exercised a patronage that clearly favored a predominance of Parisian art.

Upon entering the exhibition, a cohort of wooden angels from the northern regions welcomed the visitor with smiling grace. For the most important sections—sculptures, precious arts, manuscripts with paintings—the centers of production were distinguished, as were the few known artists. Pépin de Huy, sculptor to the Countess Mahaut d'Artois, and the painters Master Honoré and Jean Pucelle were represented by most of the works attributed to them. The north of France, from Normandy to Hainaut, was particularly productive and greatly influenced by the Parisian milieu. The regions of the East and Burgundy, and especially Languedoc, have known a more original art, which can be observed as much in the sculpture workshop of Mussy-l'Évêque (Aube) as in the reliquary of the True Cross of Albi or in the Toulouse manuscripts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antinoë","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39835387494584,"sku":"32817","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/4043\/6408\/files\/A1jQvCa3b4L._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1709828720","url":"https:\/\/anttopinoe.com\/en-en\/products\/l-art-au-temps-des-rois-maudits-philippe-le-bel-et-ses-fils","provider":"Antinoë","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
