EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph transports us back to the 10th century, where we witness a regal figure immersed in the enchanting melodies of a lyre. The king, adorned in majestic medieval attire and wearing a crown that signifies his royal status, exudes an air of elegance and power. His fingers gracefully pluck at the strings, producing harmonious notes that fill the room. The artist Ferdinand Sere has masterfully captured this moment from history with exceptional detail and precision. Every fold of fabric in the king's clothing is meticulously rendered, showcasing the fashions of that era. This illustration was created for "Les Arts Somptuaires" a comprehensive work on costume history and interior design by Hangard-Mauge in 1858. The lyre itself holds symbolic significance as it evokes images of King David from biblical times who was known for his musical talents. It serves as a reminder of music's ability to transcend time and connect people across centuries. Through this print, we are transported into an age where kings ruled with grace and grandeur while indulging their artistic passions. It reminds us that even those in positions of power find solace and joy through creative expression. This remarkable artwork is part of a private collection but has been made accessible to us thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its vibrant colors and attention to detail make it truly deserving of admiration by art enthusiasts worldwide.
