Chantilly Chroniques Cond Coronation Grandes 14th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image is a depiction of Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, who ruled as King of France from 1226 to 1270. Born in 1214, Louis was the son of King Louis VIII and Blanche of Castile. He is considered one of the greatest kings in French history, renowned for his piety, justice, and military prowess. The illustration comes from the "Les Grandes Chroniques de France," a medieval chronicle created in the 14th century. The Gothic art piece is a miniature painting, showcasing the intricacy and detail typical of the period. The image captures the moment of Louis IX's coronation day, an essential event in the monarch's reign. Louis IX is depicted wearing the regal robes and the crown, symbolizing his royal status. He is seated on a throne, with his right hand raised in blessing, while his left hand holds a scepter. The scene is surrounded by various figures, including bishops, cardinals, and other dignitaries. This painting is now part of the collection at the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, which holds an extensive collection of art and historical treasures. The image is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Middle Ages and the significant role that France played during this period in European history.
