EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment captured in the pages of Ms 159, fol 2v & 3r from The Primer of Claude of France. The image depicts Anne of Brittany, an influential figure in French history, being presented to St. Claude by the Master of Antoine de Roche. Anne of Brittany was not only queen consort of France but also duchess regnant of Brittany. As the eldest daughter of Louis XII and Anne of Brittany herself, she held significant power and influence during her time. This portrait captures her royal status as well as her deep connection to religious figures. St. Claude, also known as Claude the Thaumaturge, was a priest, monk, abbot, and bishop who played a crucial role in religious affairs during his lifetime. His presence alongside Anne suggests their close association and highlights her devotion to both religion and royalty. The intricate illumination and script surrounding this portrait add depth and beauty to the scene. It is evident that great care was taken in creating this piece with its delicate inkwork on parchment. As we admire this remarkable artwork from the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, we are transported back in time to witness an important ceremony where two worlds collide – that of aristocracy represented by Anne's regal stature and that of spirituality embodied by St. Claude's revered position within religious orders. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into a fascinating chapter in history where faith intertwines with monarchy through artistry and symbolism.
