EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print captures a significant moment in history as King Gontran of Bourgogne designates his nephew, Childebert II, as his successor. Created by the French School in the 15th century and printed by A. Verard in Paris in 1493, this miniature from the Chronicles of France is a true testament to the artistic skill and attention to detail of its time. In this scene, we see King Gontran seated upon his majestic throne surrounded by courtiers and advisors. His regal presence commands respect while he makes this crucial decision that will shape the future of their kingdom. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as everyone awaits the announcement. Childebert II, Guntram's adopted son and heir, stands nearby with an air of both humility and determination. He understands the weight of responsibility that has been placed upon him and accepts it with grace. The intricate engravings on this print bring life to every character present, showcasing their elaborate attire befitting their royal status. The artist masterfully captures not only their physical features but also their emotions through subtle facial expressions. As we gaze at this piece from Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, Italy, we are transported back to a time when monarchs ruled with power and authority over vast territories. It serves as a reminder of our rich historical heritage and invites us to appreciate both the artistry behind such prints and the stories they tell about our past.
