EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Apotheosis of St. Louis" painted by Simon Vouet between 1639 and 1642. The artwork, measuring an impressive 280x176 cm, is housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France. In this masterpiece, Vouet depicts the elevation of Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis (1214-1270), to divine status. The painting portrays a scene filled with celestial beings and symbolism. As we gaze at the canvas, we witness angels surrounding St. Louis as he rises towards the heavens. The artist skillfully captures every detail of this spiritual ascent; from St. Louis' serene expression to his crown of thorns symbolizing his suffering for Christ's sake. Cherubs flutter around him while holding fleur de lys symbols representing French royalty. One cannot help but be captivated by the grandeur and beauty portrayed in this artwork - a true testament to Vouet's talent and creativity. It serves as a reminder of both religious devotion and royal power during that era. As we admire this stunning print, let us appreciate how it transports us back in time to witness an extraordinary moment when a mortal man was exalted among angels – forever immortalized through paint on canvas.
