EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Effigy of Eleanor of Aquitaine, a powerful queen who left an indelible mark on medieval history. Created by the French School in the 13th century, this photograph captures the magnificence of her tomb at Fontevrault Abbey in Fontevraud, France. Eleanor of Aquitaine was not only Queen consort to both Louis VII of France and Henry II of England but also held significant titles such as Duchess of Aquitaine and Countess of Poitiers. This effigy serves as a testament to her influential role during a tumultuous era. The photo reveals a recumbent figure lying gracefully atop the tomb, surrounded by intricate gothic details. Clutching a book close to her chest, Eleanor's regal presence is palpable even centuries later. The monument exudes an aura that transports viewers back in time, allowing them to marvel at its grandeur. Through this image, we are reminded of Eleanor's complex life journey - from having her marriage annulled with Louis in 1152 to becoming one half of one Europe's most formidable power couples alongside Henry II. Her story continues to captivate historians and enthusiasts alike. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured every nuance and detail within this photograph, providing us with an opportunity to appreciate the artistry behind this medieval masterpiece. It serves as both a visual delight for art lovers and a historical treasure for those interested in exploring Eleanor's enduring legacy
