EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Louis II, Duc de Bourbon (1337-1410), Chamberlain of France, in the prime of his life as he rides alongside the Sieur de Beaujeu, his esquire. The duke is dressed in the finest armor of the era, with a helmet adorned with an elaborate peacock tail, a symbol of nobility and royalty. The helmet's intricate design, featuring delicate feathers and intricate goldwork, is a testament to the wealth and power of the Bourbon family. Louis II was a prominent figure in the court of King Charles VI of France, serving as Chamberlain and a trusted advisor. His close relationship with the king is reflected in the presence of the Sieur de Beaujeu, who rides faithfully by his side. The duke's regal bearing and the esquire's attentiveness to his master's needs underscore the strong bond between them. The year is uncertain, but this image likely dates from the late 14th or early 15th century, a time of great change and upheaval in European history. The Hundred Years War was raging, and the political landscape of France was in flux. Amidst the chaos, Louis II and his fellow nobles continued to uphold the traditions of chivalry and courtly life, riding out from their castles to hunt, train their horses, and display their wealth and power. This print, with its striking image of Louis II and the Sieur de Beaujeu, offers a glimpse into the world of the medieval nobility, a world of honor, valor, and beauty that continues to captivate us today.
