EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Reliquary bust of Saint Louis, created between 1867 and 1869 by the talented artist Jean Alexandre Chertier. The intricate craftsmanship is evident in this silver masterpiece, adorned with enamel and a glass cabochon. Inspired by Eugene Viollet-le-Duc's vision, Chertier skillfully crafted this reliquary bust to honor Saint Louis, also known as Louis IX, King of France from 1214 to 1270. The crown atop his head symbolizes his royal status within the Capetian dynasty. The combination of metalwork and delicate enameling creates a stunning visual effect that captures the viewer's attention. This relic serves not only as an artistic creation but also as a vessel for sacred relics associated with Saint Louis. The fine details on this piece reflect the mastery of goldsmith art during this era. It exemplifies the artisanal craft industry prevalent in the late nineteenth century. Through this portrait-like representation, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and regality of King Louis IX himself. His saintly reputation is further emphasized through this reliquary bust, which holds great historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art captured by Jean-Paul Paireault's lens, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and bring us closer to our rich cultural heritage. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical importance within both religious and artistic contexts. In conclusion, Fine Art Finder presents us with a mesmerizing glimpse into history through their print capturing Chertier's Reliquary bust of Saint Louis – an extraordinary testament to craftsmanship and devotion from the nineteenth century.
