EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate print depicts Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, the revered King of France during the 13th century. The image captures Louis in his grand ceremonial robes, adorned with intricate designs and symbols of his royal status. The King is seated on a magnificent throne, with a regal crown resting atop his head and scepters in his hands. The elaborate cape he wears is adorned with fleurs-de-lys, the symbol of the French monarchy, and is lined with ermine fur, a sign of royal rank and prestige. Louis IX ruled France from 1226 to 1270, a period marked by significant achievements in both religious and secular spheres. He was renowned for his piety and his efforts to bring the Crusades back into prominence. This dedication to the Church earned him the title of 'Saint Louis' after his death. The meticulously detailed engraving, drawn by Leopold Massard and published in the book 'French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days', provides an insight into the grandeur and opulence of the medieval French court. The intricate patterns and textures of the King's robes, the ornate throne, and the richly decorated surroundings all contribute to a captivating and authentic portrayal of royal life during the 13th century. This print is not only a historical record but also a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the image to life, transporting us back to an era of chivalry, faith, and grandeur.
