Besides the archeological traces still very much present, the documentary series of accounts, in particular that of the ordinary accounts in the bailiwick of Dijon, bear witness to the constant determination on the part of the Duke and of the Duchess to develop a certain number of these residential sites within an overall architectural project and with painted decorations appropriate to the each place. Certain sites, including Germolles, were distinguished among several other places preferred for holidays by the ducal couple: Dijon, Rouvres en Plaine, Argilly, whose building projects were financed by the Chambre des Comptes of the Duchy, conceived by the “Maîtres des œuvres de monseigneur le duc” and carried out by the workshops of craftsmen, expert at these tasks. Thus we have chosen to examine the work of the paintings in the Germolles Chateau (fig. 1) carried out during the years 1388-1389 and registered by the accountant of the bailiwick of Dijon in the ordinary accounts (annexe). We insist more precisely on the circumstances of the work of the paintings of the wardrobe in Margaret of Flanders’ bedroom (fig. 2), then on the contents of these works before detailing the material used, the quantities necessary and the amounts of the costs. Finally we read these documents for a better perception of the artistic milieu in Dijon and in the surrounding areas in this last third of the 14th century.Cairn free access
