EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Le Roi d'Angleterre" or "The King of England," is an exquisite example of European heraldic art from the 15th century. Created by Loredan Larchey for his "Ancien Armorial Equestre de la Toison d'Or et de l'Europe au 15e Siecle" or "Ancient Equestrian Armorials of the Order of the Golden Fleece and Europe in the 15th Century," this work was published in Paris in 1890. The image depicts a regal figure riding a majestic lion, symbolizing the power and strength of the monarch. The king is dressed in the royal robes and wears the Imperial State Crown, signifying his authority and sovereignty. The fleur-de-lis, a symbol of the French monarchy, adorns the king's shield, reflecting the complex political alliances of the time. Henry VII, the first Tudor king of England, is believed to be the subject of this image. Henry's reign marked the end of the War of the Roses and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty. His rule brought stability to England and saw the establishment of a strong central government. The intricate details of the chromolithograph, with its vibrant colors and meticulous shading, showcase the skill and artistry of the Loredan Larchey workshop. This beautiful print is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of heraldic art in Europe during the late Middle Ages.
