EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the life of Louis VI the Fat, son of Philip I, as depicted in the manuscript Chroniques de France. Printed by A. Verard in 1493 and hand-colored, this artwork showcases the rich history and artistic craftsmanship of the French School during the 15th century. In this image, we witness King Louis VI le Gros (1081-1137) mounted on his horse, adorned in regal armor with a crown atop his head. He is portrayed engaging in medieval warfare, surrounded by battlements and a majestic castle backdrop. The intensity of battle is evident as soldiers clash swords and shields while others lay wounded on the battlefield. The artist skillfully captures both male and female soldiers fighting alongside their king, highlighting their bravery and dedication to defending their kingdom. The intricately detailed plate armor worn by these warriors reflects traditional medieval attire. Amidst all the chaos, one cannot help but notice Louis VI's commanding presence as he leads his troops fearlessly into combat. This portrayal not only emphasizes his role as a monarch but also highlights his strategic prowess on the battlefield. Overall, this hand-colored print serves as an invaluable historical artifact that transports us back to twelfth-century France—a time marked by chivalry, honor, and fierce battles for power. It reminds us of our past while celebrating human resilience and determination in times of conflict.
