EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Charles V the Wise, King of France. From the series "Les Augustes Representations de tous les Rois de France depuis Pharamond jusqu a Louis XIV" this engraving by de Larmessin showcases the esteemed ruler in all his glory. Charles V, born in 1338 and reigned from 1364 until his death in 1380, was known for his wisdom and patronage of art and literature. As the eldest son of John II the Good, he inherited a kingdom plagued by political instability and economic challenges. However, Charles V's astute leadership helped restore stability to France during his reign. In this oval portrait, we see Charles V donning a crown adorned with fleur-de-lys symbolizing French royalty. His expression is thoughtful yet commanding as he gazes into the distance. The ermine fur lining on his robe further emphasizes his status as a monarch. The image transports us back to the 14th century, allowing us to witness firsthand the power and influence that characterized this era. It serves as a testament to both Charles V's legacy as well as the artistic talent of de Larmessin. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this historical artifact reminds us of Europe's rich history and its significant role in shaping our world today.
