EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in French history - the consecration of Philippe III le Hardi, King of France. The image is taken from the Grandes Chroniques de France, a renowned manuscript dating back to the 14th century. The scene depicts the solemn coronation ceremony, where Philippe III is being anointed and crowned by bishops. The grandeur of this event is evident in every detail - from the ornate crowns adorning his head to the beautifully illuminated backdrop showcasing intricate designs and symbols. The artist's skillful use of vibrant colors brings life to this medieval masterpiece. The fleur-de-lys motif, symbolizing French royalty, can be seen prominently throughout the artwork. Each bishop wears a mitre, signifying their ecclesiastical authority during this sacred ritual. Mathieu de Vendôme, known for his exceptional illuminations, has masterfully captured both the religious significance and regal splendor of this historic occasion. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also provides insight into medieval traditions and customs surrounding royal coronations. Preserved at Bibliotheque Municipale in Reims, France, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of France's most important historical events - an enduring reminder of its monarchy's power and prestige.
