Arca com cenas cavalheirescas

França, Paris

On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14

A tampa desta caixa é coberta com cenas de cavalaria da corte de Arthur e outros. Na tampa aparece o ataque ao metafórico castelo do Amor, com uma justa e cavaleiros jogando rosas. A tampa frontal apresenta duas comovedoras cenas da tragédia de Píramo e Tisbe (direita), uma de Aristóteles instruindo Alexandre o Grande e duas de Fílis sendo carregada nas costas de Aristóteles (esquerda). Nas laterais, vemos Tristão e Isolda, um caçador matando um unicórnio, um cavaleiro resgatando uma dama, e Galahad recebendo a chave do castelo. Na parte de trás aparecem cenas com Lancelote e Galvão e as donzelas que recebem seu salvador.
