EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Genealogical Chronicle of the Kings of England" from 1466-67, a remarkable piece of art created by an unknown artist during the fifteenth century. The artwork, crafted on parchment using gold, ink, and opaque watercolor, depicts a rich tapestry of British history and heritage. Intricately detailed and beautifully illuminated, this genealogical chronicle traces the lineage of English royalty through generations. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on family ties in medieval society. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes bring life to each figure portrayed within this manuscript. The presence of Adam and Eve in this artwork adds a religious dimension to its narrative. Symbolizing Christianity's influence on monarchy, their inclusion underscores the divine right often associated with royal bloodlines. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this photograph preserves not only the artistic mastery but also offers insight into historical connections between religion, politics, and culture in Britain during that era. As viewers gaze upon this image print today, they are transported back in time to witness centuries-old traditions unfold before their eyes. Through its depiction of regal figures intertwined with serpents symbolizing temptation or wisdom—depending on interpretation—this artwork invites contemplation about power dynamics within royal families throughout history. Overall, this print captures both aesthetic beauty and historical significance—an exquisite representation of medieval artistry that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
