EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in French history. Hugues Capet, the king of France from 987 to 996, is shown making his son, Robert II the Pious, sacred by Adalberon, the archbishop of Reims. The scene takes place at the Cathedrale d'Orleans and serves as an important event that established the principle of heredity. The image showcases a young Robert II being crowned and blessed by Adalberon while his father watches with pride. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical moment to life, allowing us to witness this pivotal event firsthand. Hugues Capet's decision to have his son consecrated was a groundbreaking move that solidified the idea of passing down power through generations within French monarchy. This act would shape future successions and lay the foundation for centuries of royal lineage. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in French history. It reminds us of how legacies are formed and how traditions can shape nations. This print not only captures a specific era but also symbolizes continuity and inheritance within monarchy – concepts that continue to resonate throughout history.
