EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in French history - the election and coronation of Hugues Capet as king of France in June 987. Despite being crowned king, Hugues Capet's rule was limited to a small territory in the Ile-de-France, which he had to fiercely defend against rival claimants to the throne.
The image evokes a sense of power and authority as Hugues Capet is depicted wearing his crown, symbolizing his newfound royal status. The historical significance of this event is palpable, as it marked the beginning of the Capetian dynasty that would go on to rule France for centuries.
The composition of the photograph is striking, with Hugues Capet standing tall and proud amidst a backdrop of political intrigue and competition. The tension between him and his rivals is palpable, hinting at the challenges he would face during his reign.
Overall, this print serves as a visual reminder of an important chapter in French history, showcasing both the triumphs and struggles faced by one of its early monarchs. It invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of power dynamics and succession struggles that have shaped nations throughout time.
