EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Fr fol. 48 The king dictating his hours while riding a horse" takes us back to the 14th century, immersing us in the medieval world of King Louis IX. The image captures a moment of both power and devotion as we witness the king multitasking on horseback. Mounted atop his noble steed, King Louis IX is depicted dictating his daily schedule to a monk who diligently transcribes it into a book of hours. This unique glimpse into the life of royalty showcases the king's commitment to maintaining order and structure even during his rides. The intricate details showcased in this vellum artwork by French School are truly remarkable. From the elaborate attire worn by both figures to the delicate strokes that bring their expressions to life, every element adds depth and authenticity to this historical scene. As we admire this piece from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we can't help but be transported back in time. It serves as a reminder of how different our lives were centuries ago yet also highlights some universal aspects such as time management and dedication. This print not only celebrates artistry but also offers an insight into medieval culture and religious practices through its depiction of Saint Louis' daily routine. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity that continues to inspire generations even today.
