EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Coronation of Henry VI. Created by the French School in the 15th century, this vellum manuscript, known as Ms Fr 83 fol. 205, is now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image showcases a young Henry VI being crowned as King of France at Notre Dame de Paris on December 26,1431. This coronation came after his previous crowning as King of England on November 6,1429, at Westminster Abbey. At such a tender age, Henry VI held immense power as he became king over two nations. The scene depicted is filled with symbolism and grandeur. A bishop stands beside him while performing the sacred ceremony that solidifies his reign. The intricately designed throne adds to the regal atmosphere surrounding this event. This photograph not only serves as a visual representation of historical significance but also highlights the artistic skill and craftsmanship of Jean de Wavrin who wrote this chronicle. It offers us a glimpse into an era characterized by renaissance art and Lancastrian rule. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us back in time to witness pivotal moments that shaped our world today.
