EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph captures the regal presence of Louis the Pious, King of the Franks and co-emperor with his father, Charlemagne. Painted by Villain in the 19th century, this print showcases Louis adorned in a magnificent crown, holding an orb and sceptre as symbols of his power. He is draped in a chlamys over his chasuble and ecclesiastical robes, reflecting both his royal status and religious devotion. Louis le Pieux's reign spanned from 778 to 840 AD, during which he sought to uphold the legacy of his illustrious father while also navigating complex political challenges. This portrait encapsulates the grandeur associated with medieval kingship and offers a glimpse into French fashion from that era. The artist Horace de Viel-Castel originally illustrated this image for "Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France" (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture to be used in the history of France), published by Treuttel & Wurtz, Bossange in 1827. The detailed illumination seen here reflects influences from ancient manuscripts. This lithograph allows us to appreciate not only Louis' role as a ruler but also provides insights into French history during this pivotal period. It serves as a testament to artistic craftsmanship and historical documentation that continues to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
