Abstract
The Traité des Quatre dernières choses is Jean Miélot’s French translation of an ascetic Latin treatise probably commissioned by Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy. The illuminations of the French manuscripts were made by three different artists working at the court of Burgundy : Jean le Tavernier, Le Maître aux grisailles fleurdelisées and Loyset Liédet. Through the analysis of their illuminated paintings, this article aims at studying the relationship between image and text. We intend to show that each illumination creates a visual discourse stablishing a profound dialog with the treatise text and the fifteenth century conceptions about death and the afterlife.
