EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal figure of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou, dating back to the 12th century. The image captures a moment frozen in time, allowing us to glimpse into the life of this nobleman from medieval France. Geoffrey V stands tall and proud, adorned in his knightly attire. His sword is firmly grasped in one hand while his shield rests by his side, symbolizing both strength and protection. A magnificent helmet crowns his head, emphasizing his status as a warrior. The intricate details on his dress reflect the opulence associated with aristocracy during that era. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to an age characterized by chivalry and warfare. It is fascinating to imagine the battles fought by Geoffrey V and the pivotal role he played within European history. The photograph was taken from an enamelled funerary plaque located at the Tesse museum in Le Mans. Originally displayed at St Julian's Church, it now serves as a testament to Geoffrey's legacy. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Geoffrey's significance as a count but also as the father of King Henry II of England. Through its monochrome aesthetic, it evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone yet still influential today.
