EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and power of Louis XII, King of France, as he enters Genoa. Engraved by Gautier after an illustration in the Hours of Anne of Brittany, this artwork showcases the exquisite talent of Jean Bourdichon. Louis XII is depicted on horseback, his regal presence emanating from every pore. Donned in magnificent armor and a plumed helmet, he exudes strength and authority. The intricate detailing brings to life the opulence of his caparisoned horse, adorned with rich fabrics and embellishments fit for royalty. As Louis XII makes his entrance into Genoa, one can almost feel the anticipation in the air. The city's architecture serves as a majestic backdrop to this historical moment. It is a testament to both French supremacy and Italian allure during the tumultuous period of the Italian Wars. The artist masterfully captures not only Louis XII's physical appearance but also his commanding demeanor. This portrait equestre immortalizes a ruler who left an indelible mark on history through his military campaigns and political alliances. Displayed in vibrant colors through this colored engraving technique, this print evokes a sense of awe and admiration for both artistry and historical significance alike. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still be captivated by moments frozen in time through visual storytelling like this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection.
