EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Middle Ages, specifically to the reign of King Louis XI of France. The image depicts a moment in history when the king himself claimed that his predecessor, Louis XI the Prudent, suffered from anxious nightmares before his death. Created by Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray de Breville, known as JOB, in 1905, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of this historical anecdote. The artwork showcases a regal bedroom adorned with luxurious furnishings and intricate details. A large bed occupies the center of the room, where it is said that Louis XI experienced these haunting dreams. The artist pays attention to every element within the scene - from delicate lily flowers symbolizing purity and royalty to meticulously crafted furniture reflecting opulence and power. Through this piece, JOB transports us into a different era - an age filled with mystery and intrigue. It invites us to reflect on how even kings were not immune to fear or anxiety during their final moments. This photograph serves as a reminder that history is not just about grand battles or political achievements; it also encompasses personal struggles and human emotions. Preserved in a private collection today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its rich storytelling ability. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of our own mortality and how even those who hold great power can be haunted by their own fears in life's twilight hours.
