EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in history - the grand banquet given by Charles V, the wise King of France (1338-1380), in honor of his esteemed uncle, Emperor Charles IV (1316-1378). The year was 1378, and this lavish feast took place as depicted in the Grandes Chroniques de France. The image showcases a scene filled with opulence and splendor. Trumpeters announce the arrival of distinguished guests while servants attend to their every need. The manuscript itself is a testament to the artistic prowess of Jean Fouquet (c. 1420-1480), who skillfully captured this significant event on vellum. In this medieval setting, we witness not only a celebration but also an expression of familial respect and admiration. Charles V's gesture demonstrates his deep reverence for his uncle, who held great influence as Holy Roman Emperor. The portrait reveals intricate details such as ornate crowns adorning noble heads and sumptuous delicacies laid out on tables fit for royalty. This snapshot from the 14th century offers us a glimpse into an era where power dynamics played out through grand feasts and elaborate ceremonies. As we admire this historical artifact from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, let us appreciate its significance within European history. It serves as a reminder of the Valois family's reign over France during this period and highlights their role within Europe at large.
