EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the Departure of French king Louis IX (Saint Louis) for the 8th crusade in 1270, as depicted in an illumination by Jean Fouquet for "Le Livre des faits Monseigneur saint Louis" from the 15th century. King Louis IX, known for his piety and devotion to Christianity, led this crusade with great determination and faith.
The image shows a regal figure surrounded by his loyal followers, preparing to embark on a journey that would ultimately lead to his death in Tunis. The intricate details of the dais canopy and the rich colors used by Fouquet bring this historical moment to life, capturing both the grandeur and solemnity of the occasion.
Louis IX's legacy as a saintly monarch who dedicated himself to serving his people and defending his faith is evident in this illuminating artwork. The artist's skillful hand has preserved this significant event in history for future generations to admire and reflect upon.
As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us in pursuit of their beliefs. It serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of art to convey stories that transcend time and space.
