EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the sacre, or coronation, of Louis XII in the grand Cathedral of Reims on May 27th, 1498. Painted on wood by an anonymous artist from the French school of the 16th century in 1501, this masterpiece measures approximately 1.95x0.5 meters and is now housed in the National Museum of the Middle Ages at Thermes de Cluny in Paris. The painting showcases a remarkable scene filled with intricate details that transport viewers back to this significant event in French history. The clergy stands solemnly around King Louis XII as he receives his crown, symbolizing his ascension to power and divine authority. The stunning architecture of the cathedral serves as a majestic backdrop for this sacred ceremony. Every element within this artwork tells a story - from the blazon and coat of arms representing France's rich heritage to the religious order present during such an important occasion. This painting not only commemorates Louis XII's reign but also highlights France's deep connection between church and state during that period. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured by Photo Josse, we are reminded of how art can preserve moments frozen in time for generations to come. It allows us to immerse ourselves in historical events and appreciate their significance even centuries later.
