Abstract (en)
Discusses the iconography of peasants laboring and not laboring, late 12th to early 15th cs. Images of laboring peasants in medieval calendar cycles are contrasted with images of aristocratic pastimes and peasant idleness, casting light on the ideological function of the calendar cycle in later medieval society. Focuses on negative images of peasants in the Très riches heures du Duc de Berry (Chantilly, Musée Condé, MS 65), noting a shift in attitude and relating this to the economic and social crises of the 14th and early 15th cs.
