EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Hugh Capet (941-996), the first King of the Franks (987-996) from the Capetian dynasty. The portrait is part of the series "Les Rois de France" (The Kings of France), created around 1650 by the skilled engraver Balthasar Moncornet (1600-1668). The image captures the regal presence of King Hugh Capet, who is known for his significant role in French history. Born in 941, Hugh Capet rose to power in the late 10th century, becoming the first monarch of the Capetian dynasty, which would rule France for centuries. His reign, which lasted from 987 to 996, marked the end of the Carolingian dynasty and the beginning of a new era in French monarchy. Moncornet's intricately detailed engraving portrays King Hugh Capet as a mature, strong, and determined man, dressed in the regal attire of the time. The portrait's vertical and upright composition, with the king's gaze fixed steadily forward, conveys a sense of regal authority and power. The black and white contrast of the engraving adds to the image's timeless and classic appeal. This portrait, which originated from Madrid's National Library, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of one of the most influential figures in French history. The image serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history of the Capetian dynasty and the profound impact it had on the political landscape of medieval Europe.
