This is based on the moral satire 'Roman de Fauvel' of Gervais Du Bus,where those who curry a fauveau are flatterers and opportunists. The fauveau is a symbolic horse,with a chestnut coat,the colour of duplicity. Each of the letters comprising its name is the initial of a word for the French term for a major contemporary vice. The scene illustrates a love poem dedicated by Pierre Sala to Marguerite Builloud Image taken from Love Poems. Originally published in France; early 16th century | |
