EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the Holy Roman Empress Richilde of Provence presenting the crown and sceptre to Louis the Stammerer. The scene is set in Compiegne, where this grand gesture took place. Richilde, known for her elegance and grace, kneels before Louis as she presents him with these symbols of power that once belonged to his father Charles II the Bald. This act symbolizes the passing of authority from one generation to another, solidifying Louis' position as King of France. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate engravings on their regal attire to the delicate fleur de lys motifs adorning their garments. The medieval court comes alive through this engraving, transporting us back to a time when royalty reigned supreme. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance embedded within it. It serves as a testament to not only French royalty but also European heritage during the Renaissance period. Displayed proudly at Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, Italy, this print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever immortalized through art. Its historical value cannot be overstated; it allows us to appreciate and understand our past while marveling at its artistic beauty. Intriguingly captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, this image invites us into a world where power dynamics were shaped by tradition and ceremony – reminding us that
