EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King Louis VII of France and his first wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, during two significant moments in their lives. On the left side, we witness the couple on their wedding day, radiating with joy and love. Their regal attire reflects their status as royalty, while the delicate manuscript illumination from the late 14th century adds a touch of medieval charm to this historical moment. On the right side of the image, we see Louis VII and Eleanor embarking on a grand adventure - the Second Crusade. Clad in armor and surrounded by knights, they stand proudly at the helm of a majestic sailboat ready to set sail into uncharted waters. The maritime setting symbolizes their determination to fight for their faith and reclaim holy lands. The intricate details captured within this photograph print transport us back in time to witness these pivotal events that shaped not only Louis VII's reign but also European history. It is remarkable how one image can encapsulate both tender love between a king and queen as well as their unwavering commitment to religious duty. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection curated by Bradley Smith, this extraordinary piece offers an immersive glimpse into 12th-century France through its rich symbolism and artistic craftsmanship. Whether displayed in an interior or exterior space, this print serves as a reminder of timeless royal romance intertwined with epic crusades that forever altered Europe's destiny.
