EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a regal portrait of King Louis XII of France, dating back to the 16th century. The unknown creator skillfully captures the essence of this influential monarch as he sits upon his majestic throne, surrounded by celestial beings holding a crown above his head. The scene is made even more intriguing by the presence of Dominican friar Alphonsus Ricius, who humbly kneels before the king, offering him a copy of his literary masterpiece titled "Dialogus in Valdensium de purgatorio errorem". The photograph originates from an exhibition called "Exposition de Portraits, peints et dessines" held at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris during April-June 1907. It provides us with a glimpse into both historical and artistic realms. Through this image, we are transported to an era where monarchy reigned supreme and religion played a significant role in society. Louis XII's reign marked an important period for France as he sought justice and stability for his countrymen. His legacy as a wise ruler is immortalized through this powerful portrait that exudes authority and grace. This print serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage embedded within French history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded not only of Louis XII's royal lineage but also the profound impact that literature and religious figures had on shaping medieval Europe. It stands as an enduring symbol of sovereignty and devotion that continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed.
