EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Louis XIII, the King of France and Navarre, making his grand entrance into La Rochelle on November 1st, 1628. Painted by Pierre Courtillon in the 18th century, this oil on canvas artwork now resides in the Musee d'Orbigny-Bernon in La Rochelle, France. The painting is not just a depiction of a royal procession; it holds deeper meaning as an allegorical tribute to St. Margaret of Antioch. The composition showcases various symbolic elements such as a dragon representing evil being defeated by St. Margaret's cross and her presence alongside other religious figures like bishops. Louis XIII's arrival at La Rochelle was significant due to its strategic location as a harbor and port city. This event marked an important victory for Cardinal Richelieu's forces during the Huguenot rebellions that plagued France at that time. The image itself radiates with vibrant colors and intricate details, showcasing Courtillon's skillful brushwork. It serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece capturing this pivotal moment in French history. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images for preserving this remarkable piece of artistry that allows us to delve into the past and appreciate the rich cultural heritage surrounding Louis XIII's entry into La Rochelle.
