EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print, we witness a momentous event in history as King Louis VII of France prepares to embark on the Second Crusade. The scene unfolds at the magnificent Basilica of Saint Denis, where the air is thick with anticipation and reverence. King Louis VII stands tall and regal, adorned in his royal attire. With unwavering determination etched upon his face, he takes hold of the oriflame - a sacred banner symbolizing his commitment to defend Christianity in distant lands. Queen Alienor of Aquitaine gazes upon her husband with pride and concern, fully aware of the dangers that lie ahead. The presence of Pope Eugene III adds an aura of solemnity to the occasion. With utmost respect, he places two significant objects into King Louis VII's hands - a bumblebee representing diligence and productivity during pilgrimage and a pannetiere symbolizing sustenance for his arduous journey. Standing by their side are two influential figures: St. Bernard of Clairvaux and Abbe Suger. Their presence signifies spiritual guidance and support for the king's noble quest. This artwork beautifully captures not only historical events but also emotions that transcend time - bravery, faith, loyalty, and sacrifice. It serves as a reminder that even great rulers like King Louis VII were bound by duty to protect their beliefs against formidable adversaries. Stefano Bianchetti masterfully brings this pivotal moment to life through intricate details and vibrant colors. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary chapter in medieval history unfold before our eyes.
