EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the sheer madness that consumed Charles VI, a historical figure plagued by his own inner demons. On 5 August 1392, in the eerie forest of Le Mans, Charles VI was gripped by furious attacks of insanity. In this moment frozen in time, he can be seen screaming at imagined treason and unleashing his wrath upon those around him. The artist unknown to us skillfully depicts the horrifying scene from "Chronicles de Enguerrand de Monstrelet" showcasing Charles VI's descent into madness. The king's uncontrollable rage led him to attack his own troupe, resulting in the tragic deaths of four individuals who were merely miniature figures within this tumultuous world. This haunting image not only sheds light on the violence and disease that plagued medieval times but also serves as a reminder of how fragile human sanity can be. The horseman depicted alongside Charles VI adds an element of wildness and chaos to the composition, emphasizing both the physical and mental turmoil experienced by the king. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly curated this piece from Musee Conde in Chantilly, France. Through her lens, we are transported back to a dark chapter in history where power struggles and personal afflictions intertwined with devastating consequences. This photograph is a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical significance - capturing not only a moment frozen in time but also offering us glimpses into our shared humanity across centuries.
