EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment captured in the manuscript Grands Chroniques de France. The image depicts the tragic death of St. Louis on 25th August 1270 during the Crusade against Tunis. King Louis IX of France, adorned with his regal crown and halo, lies on his deathbed surrounded by knights and soldiers in chainmail armor. The scene is filled with emotion as mourners gather around their fallen leader, paying their respects to a man who dedicated himself to the cause of Christianity. The bubonic plague that claimed St. Louis' life is symbolized by the somber atmosphere and expressions of grief etched onto each face. Intricate details are visible throughout this illuminated piece, from the delicate sailboats sailing towards Tunisia's shores to the ornate armor worn by both male and female soldiers present at this significant event. The image not only captures a pivotal moment in history but also provides insight into medieval French culture and military practices during the 13th century. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs and highlights how even great leaders like St. Louis were not immune to tragedy. Displayed within Musee Conde in Chantilly, France, this vellum print continues to captivate viewers with its rich symbolism and artistic mastery centuries after its creation.
