EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Merovingian kings, depicted on the jambs of the Royal Portal at Chartres Cathedral. Created by Villain in the 19th century, this tinted lithograph beautifully captures these historical figures that were once believed to be Merovingian kings but are now recognized as Old Testament characters. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to each king's regal attire and majestic presence. This image is a testament to the rich history and artistic mastery of medieval France. Horace de Viel-Castel's illustration from his renowned collection, "Costumes, Weapons, and Furniture for the History of France" served as inspiration for this remarkable piece. Treuttel & Wurtz published this lithograph in collaboration with Bossange in 1827. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era filled with grandeur and splendor. The Merovingian kings stand tall and proud on either side of the portal, symbolizing their significance within French history. This artwork not only highlights their royal status but also serves as a visual representation of ancient French culture. It reminds us of how fashion played a crucial role in defining societal norms during that period. With its delicate illumination reminiscent of illuminated manuscripts, this print offers a glimpse into a world long gone yet forever preserved through artistry. It is truly an exquisite piece that captivates both historians and art enthusiasts alike.
