EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Louis XII of France Kneeling in Prayer, Accompanied by Saints Michael, Charlemagne, Louis, and Denis". Created by the talented Jean Bourdichon during his active years in Tours, France between the early 1480s and 1521. The piece was completed using tempera and gold on parchment. In this exquisite depiction, we witness King Louis XII of France humbly kneeling in prayer alongside four revered saints. The composition exudes a sense of reverence and spirituality as the king seeks solace through his devout devotion. His regal attire contrasts with his humble posture, emphasizing both his earthly power and spiritual humility. The presence of Saint Michael adds an element of protection to the scene while Charlemagne represents great leadership and wisdom. Saint Louis symbolizes justice and piety while Saint Denis embodies martyrdom and faith. Jean Bourdichon's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the delicate folds of fabric to the intricate patterns adorning their garments. The use of gold accents further enhances the grandeur of this religious tableau. This print allows us to appreciate not only Bourdichon's artistic mastery but also offers a glimpse into French history during this period. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and royal authority that were deeply intertwined at that time.
