EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Coronation of Hugh Capet as King of France on 1st July 987 in Noyon. Created by artist Ahurel, this engraving showcases the grandeur and significance of this event that marked the beginning of the renowned Capetian dynasty. In this scene, we witness a solemn ceremony taking place within a religious setting. A bishop stands tall, adorned in his ecclesiastical robes, holding a crown above his head. Before him, Hugh Capet kneels on one knee, displaying humility and reverence for his new role as monarch. The king is surrounded by men who have gathered to witness this royal event. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the intricate designs on the bishop's robe to the delicate cushion upon which rests an orb symbolizing sovereignty, each element contributes to creating an atmosphere of regality and power. Located in Picardy's town Noyon, known for its rich history and cultural heritage, this coronation holds immense importance not only for France but also for Europe as it established a long-lasting monarchy that would shape centuries to come. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork from La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles volume I edited by F Roy in 1882-1884, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of France's most significant moments – when Hugh Capet ascended to become King and laid the foundation
