A big surprise (for me) of the Medieval Women show at the BL was this 14th-c. leaf from the scriptorium of the Poor Clares of Cologne. It’s completely unknown to specialists on the topic. Thankfully curator Ellie Jackson recognized its importance 👏👏.

Love this scene from the Fool show at the Louvre. Jean Perréal showing us an artist being foolish and a fool being an artist.
