EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of St. Clotilda and Clovis I, housed in the Church Notre-Dame of Corbeil. Created by the French School in the 12th century, this plaster cast captures a significant moment in history. St. Clotilda, daughter of the King of Burgundians, is depicted persuading her husband Clovis I to convert to Catholicism. As one gazes upon this artwork, it becomes evident that every intricate detail has been meticulously carved with precision and skill. The regal figures are adorned with crowns, symbolizing their royal status as Princess and King of the Salian Franks. St. Clotilda holds a sceptre while Clovis I stands beside her with a beard that adds an air of wisdom to his countenance. Their statuesque forms stand tall against a backdrop reminiscent of Romanesque architecture, emphasizing their importance as rulers during this era. A nimbus or halo surrounds each figure's head, signifying their sainthood. This masterpiece not only commemorates St. Clotilda's influence on her husband's conversion but also highlights the power dynamics within medieval royalty and religious life. Preserved at Musee des Monuments Francais in Paris since 1892, this photograph allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and historical significance behind these remarkable sculptures from centuries past.
