EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Genealogy of Rene II (1451-1508) Duke of Lorraine" on vellum, created by the German School in the 15th century. Housed in the Bibliotheque de l'Institut de France in Paris, this remarkable piece depicts a detailed family tree and coat of arms. The image transports us back to medieval times, where we witness an array of figures donning armor and helmets. Among them is a prominent female figure, symbolizing strength and power within this aristocratic lineage. The presence of a bishop suggests the influence of religion on their lives. As we explore this genealogical masterpiece, we notice that some individuals are depicted as sleeping or asleep. This artistic choice adds an intriguing layer to the narrative - perhaps representing those who have passed away but remain integral parts of their ancestral history. Rene II himself takes center stage as the Duke of Lorraine, his shield proudly displayed alongside his noble title. This artwork serves as a testament to his prestigious position within society and highlights the importance placed upon lineage during that era. "The Genealogy of Rene II" not only provides historical insight into one man's ancestry but also offers us a glimpse into medieval aristocracy and its complex social structure. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such intricate genealogical records and gain a deeper understanding of European history during this period.
