EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a roundel depicting St Louis of France, a powerful and revered figure from the 13th century. In this intricate artwork created by an anonymous German artist in the 16th century, St Louis is depicted holding a sceptre over his right shoulder with great authority and grace. The use of pen and black ink on vellum adds depth and texture to the image, while also highlighting the artist's attention to detail. The roundel measures at just 4.7 cm in diameter, making it a small yet impactful piece of art. Housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK, this work exemplifies both European artistry and religious symbolism. It serves as a testament to Christian religion during that time period. The composition beautifully captures St Louis' masculine features and conveys his role as both a religious icon and political leader. The sacredness of this image is further emphasized by its inclusion within religious illustrations and holy imagery. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this remarkable artwork through their fine art photography expertise. This print allows viewers to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also delve into historical narratives surrounding Christianity, French history, and European artistic traditions.
