EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of exquisite medallions from the 16th century. The medallions, crafted in enamel from Limoges, depict four legendary figures who have left an indelible mark on history and folklore. The first medallion portrays the preux Hector, a heroic figure from ancient Troy known for his bravery and valor. Next to him stands Judas Macchabee, also called the hammer, who succeeded his father Matathias as leader of the Jewish revolt against Seleucid oppression. His determination and resilience are captured in this striking image. Charlemagne, the renowned king of France during the 8th and 9th centuries, is depicted with regal elegance in another medallion. Known for his military conquests and cultural reforms that shaped Europe's medieval period, Charlemagne remains an iconic figure in French history. Lastly, we see King Arthur, the legendary ruler of the Bretons during the 6th century. Surrounded by tales of chivalry and knights of the Round Table, King Arthur symbolizes honor and nobility. These remarkable medallions offer a glimpse into different eras through their intricate craftsmanship and historical significance. Preserved at Musee National de la Renaissance in Ecouen, France; they serve as a testament to human creativity across time periods. This photograph captures their beauty while preserving their legacy for generations to come.
