EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Tomb of Dagobert I, King of the Franks, restored to its former glory by Adolphe Victore Geoffrey-Dechaume in 1862. The tomb, dating back to around 1263 and located in the Basilique Saint-Denis in France, is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of the French School from the 13th century. The image showcases intricate stone carvings that depict scenes illustrating both torment and redemption of the king's soul. Every detail has been meticulously preserved, allowing us to marvel at the craftsmanship and storytelling abilities of these ancient artists. The composition features an effigy of Dagobert I surrounded by angelic figures, symbolizing his ascent into heaven. Atop towering pinnacles and within a gothic cathedral-like structure, this masterpiece exudes grandeur and spiritual significance. Notably absent from this depiction are devilish figures often associated with damnation. Instead, it focuses on portraying Dagobert's journey towards salvation through divine intervention. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in art history. This photograph serves as a reminder of our collective cultural heritage while also highlighting the timeless beauty found within religious iconography.
