EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Jean le Bon, also known as John II, the Good, King of France from 1350 to 1364. The image showcases the king in his military attire, reflecting the grandeur and power of the French monarchy during the Middle Ages. Jean le Bon is shown wearing a helmet adorned with a tall plume, symbolizing his noble status. Atop his helmet sits a golden crown, further emphasizing his royal position. The king's suit of armor, made of gold wool, is intricately detailed, with embossed designs and decorative elements. In his right hand, Jean le Bon holds a dagger, a common weapon used in medieval warfare. The dagger's hilt is adorned with precious stones and intricate designs, reflecting the wealth and power of the king. In his left hand, he holds a misericorde, a type of sword used for clemency or mercy, further emphasizing his role as a just and compassionate ruler. The print, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard, is taken from the book "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," published in Paris in 1834. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of the handcoloring bring the image to life, transporting us back to the medieval period and offering a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French court during Jean le Bon's reign.
