EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical moment of "The Coronation of Louis VIII (1187-1226) and Blanche de Castille (1188-1252)" as depicted in Les Grandes Chroniques de France. Created by the talented artist Jean Fouquet in around 1460, this illuminated manuscript on vellum transports us back to a time of regal grandeur. In this scene, we witness the Lion King of France, Louis VIII, being crowned alongside his queen consort, Blanche de Castille. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and solemnity as bishops gather around them for this sacred ceremony. With heads bowed and knees bent, they bestow upon the royal couple the symbols of their authority - a majestic crown adorned with fleur-de-lys motifs. Fouquet's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. From the intricate designs on the bishop's mitres to the delicate folds of fabric draping over each figure, he captures both elegance and power within this miniature masterpiece. As we gaze at this image captured by Fine Art Finder from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, we are reminded not only of the rich history that unfolds before our eyes but also of Fouquet's artistic genius. This photograph invites us to immerse ourselves in a world long gone yet forever preserved through art.
