EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Coronation of Henry the Lion and his marriage to Matilda, beautifully depicted in a Romanesque manuscript from the 12th century. The image showcases the grandeur and significance of this alliance between two powerful figures - Henry, Duke of Saxony, and Matilda, daughter of King Henry II of England. Intricately detailed on vellum, this artwork portrays an awe-inspiring scene where Christ, surrounded by angels and saints, gazes down upon the newly crowned couple. The top half of the picture is adorned with divine presence as heavenly beings bear witness to this sacred sacrament. The visual narrative not only celebrates their union but also highlights its political implications. This marriage solidified a crucial alliance between English and German royalty during a time when strategic alliances were paramount for securing power and influence. Through this remarkable piece from the Gospel of Henry the Lion held at Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbuttel, Germany, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary event that shaped history. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and political maneuvering during medieval times. As we delve into this exquisite masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded once again how art has preserved significant moments throughout centuries while allowing us to appreciate their beauty today.
