EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 15th-century print captures a pivotal moment in the history of the Duchy of Burgundy as Philippe le Bon, Duke of Burgundy (1419-1467), receives the homage of his subjects in the Court of Burgundy, circa 1450. The Duke, dressed in regal attire and seated on a raised throne, gazes impassively at the assembled nobles and commoners before him. The scene exudes an air of formality and ceremony, with the Duke's heralds holding aloft the symbols of fealty - a sword and a spur - as the subjects touch them with reverence. Philippe le Bon, a shrewd and ambitious ruler, had expanded the Duchy of Burgundy into a significant European powerbase, and this court scene underscores his authority and control over his territories in modern-day France, Belgium, and parts of Germany. However, the Duke's expression suggests a certain detachment from the proceedings, perhaps reflecting his preoccupation with the political machinations and diplomatic alliances that shaped the European landscape of the time. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the social hierarchy and political dynamics of the 15th-century European court. The intricate details of the Duke's robes, the ornate decorations of the hall, and the diverse attire of the subjects all contribute to a richly textured and evocative depiction of a bygone era. This historical print is an essential resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the social history and political evolution of Europe during the Middle Ages.
