EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the coronation of Hugh Capet as King of France on July 3,987 at Noyon. The image showcases the solemn ceremony conducted by Adalberon, the Archbishop of Reims. In this 19th-century engraving by Stefano Bianchetti, we witness the grandeur and symbolism associated with such an event. The newly crowned king stands tall and regal, wearing a magnificent crown that signifies his authority and power. Surrounding him are members of the clergy, dignitaries, and nobles who bear witness to this historic occasion. Hugh Capet's election as king marked a turning point in French history. He was instrumental in establishing the Capetian dynasty that would rule over France for centuries to come. This image not only commemorates his ascension to power but also represents a pivotal moment in shaping the future of France. The attention to detail captured by Bianchetti is remarkable; every line etched into this engraving tells a story of medieval times and serves as a testament to their significance today. As we gaze upon this piece from our private collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of France's most important historical events. This exquisite artwork serves as both an educational tool and a visual feast for those interested in French history or art enthusiasts alike. It reminds us how art has always played an integral role in preserving our past and allowing future generations to appreciate these moments forevermore
