Miniature from a Speculum Historiale: Claudius Designates Nero as His Successor, 1447-60. Master of Jouvenel des Ursins (French, active 1447-60). Ink, tempera, and gold on vellum; sheet: 12.9 x 9.7 cm (5 1/16 x 3 13/16 in.); framed: 44.5 x 34.3 cm (17 1/2 x 13 1/2 in.); matted: 40.6 x 30.5 cm (16 x 12 in.). This miniature came from a sumptuous copy of the Speculum Historiale (Mirror of History) written by 13th-century Dominican friar Vincent de Beauvais. It covers a history of the world from creation through to De Beauvaiss own time. Here a seated Claudius, emperor of Rome (AD 41-54), is appointing a kneeling Nero, his grand-nephew and adopted stepson, to be his successor. Although an event from antiquity, contemporary dress and setting was used and would have been familiar to the reader. The original work remained much in demand and numerous copies were produced after De Beauvaiss lifetime. This miniature belonged to a deluxe copy made for René dAnjou (1409-1480), king of Jerusale
