EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Altarpiece of the Paris Parliament, a masterpiece created by the enigmatic Master of Dreux Bude (Andre d Ypres?) between 1453 and 1455. The central focus of this artwork is the powerful image of Christ on the cross, surrounded by a host of revered figures from Christian history. Saint John the Baptist stands tall at one side, his gaze fixed upon Jesus with profound reverence. On another side stands Saint Denis, a martyr known for his unwavering faith. Flanking them are two legendary kings: Charles I the Great, also known as Charlemagne, who played a significant role in shaping medieval Europe; and Louis IX, commonly referred to as Saint Louis due to his deep devotion to Christianity. Completing this sacred ensemble are Sainte Madeleine and Sainte Marthe, whose presence adds depth and emotion to this scene of crucifixion. Their expressions reflect sorrowful yet steadfast devotion towards their beloved Savior. The sheer size of this altarpiece commands attention - measuring an impressive 2.7x2.27 meters - it dominates its surroundings within Musee du Louvre in Paris. Through expert brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail, the Master of Dreux Bude has immortalized these biblical characters in stunning fashion. This photograph captures not only their divine essence but also highlights their historical significance within French culture. As we contemplate this remarkable piece of artistry through Photo Josse's lens, we are reminded once again that religious iconography continues to inspire awe and contemplation even centuries after its creation.
