EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Gustave Doré depicts a significant moment in history, as Louis VII, the young King of France from 1120 to 1180, kneels before St. Bernard of Clairvaux in Vezelay. The scene exudes a sense of reverence and devotion, capturing the spiritual connection between the king and the revered saint. St. Bernard of Clairvaux was an influential figure during his time, known for his role in promoting the Second Crusade from 1147 to 1149. This engraving beautifully portrays their encounter, emphasizing Louis VII's humility and submission before St. Bernard. Gustave Doré's masterful artistry brings this historical event to life with intricate details and delicate lines that showcase his talent as an engraver. His work captures not only the physical features but also the emotions felt by both Louis VII and St. Bernard during this sacred moment. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time when faith played a central role in shaping political alliances and decisions. It serves as a reminder of how religion influenced medieval society and highlights the power dynamics between kings and religious figures. This remarkable piece is part of Giancarlo Costa's private collection, preserving its beauty for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon our rich cultural heritage.
