EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event from the 15th century - the embarkment of Saint Louis (Louis IX) for the 7th Miniature Crusade. The French School's intricate artwork showcases their mastery in illumination and miniature painting, transporting us back to a time of chivalry and religious fervor. Measuring just 0.08x0.07 meters, this small yet powerful image resides in the prestigious musee du Louvre in Paris. The composition depicts a military boat setting sail, symbolizing King Louis IX's departure for the crusade that took place between 1248 and 1254. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke brings to life the medieval atmosphere with its lily flowers adorning banners and armor-clad soldiers readying themselves for battle. This piece not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into France's history during the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of Saint Louis' unwavering commitment to his faith and his people. His leadership during these tumultuous times shaped France's destiny forever. Thanks to Photo Josse's expertise, we can now appreciate this historical gem even if we cannot physically visit it at the Louvre. Let this image transport you back in time as you delve into one of humanity's most fascinating periods - where kings embarked on perilous journeys driven by both religious devotion and political ambition.
