EDITORS COMMENTS
Jacques de Brimeu, Seigneur de Grigny: A Nobleman of the Order of the Golden Fleece in the 15th Century This stunning chromolithograph depicts Jacques de Brimeu, Seigneur de Grigny, a nobleman from the Duchy of Burgundy, who was a distinguished member of the prestigious Order of the Golden Fleece. Established by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in 1430, the Order of the Golden Fleece was an exclusive chivalric order that brought together the most powerful and influential figures of Europe. The image, taken from Loredan Larchey's Ancient Equestrian Armorials of the Order of the Golden Fleece and Europe in the 15th Century, published in Paris in 1890, captures the elegance and grandeur of Seigneur de Grigny. He is depicted in full armor, wearing the distinctive insignia of the Order, which includes a white fleece adorned with a red cross, and a collar made of alternating fleur-de-lis and pendants in the shape of the Golden Fleece. The armorial also includes the family coat of arms of Brimeu, which features three golden fleurs-de-lis on a blue background. The intricate details of the armor, the rich colors, and the meticulous shading of the chromolithograph create a vivid and lifelike representation of Seigneur de Grigny. The image offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the European aristocracy during the 15th century, a time of political intrigue, cultural flourishing, and military conquests. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Order of the Golden Fleece, which continues to be an emblem of honor, nobility, and chivalry. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that have shaped Europe and the world.
