EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the somber scene of the "Night of 25th August 1270, Death of St. Louis". Illustrated by Joseph Michaud and engraved by Albert Bellenger in 1877, this historical moment is brought to life through the artistic lens of Gustave Dore. The image portrays the tragic demise of St. Louis (1214-70), also known as Louis IX, King of France. The renowned monarch met his untimely end during a crusade against Tunis when he fell victim to the plague. This haunting depiction showcases the gravity and solemnity surrounding his passing. In this poignant illustration, we witness an angelic figure hovering above St. Louis' dying body inside a tent adorned with coats of mail. The presence of knights and soldiers paying their respects further emphasizes the significance of this event within religious history. With meticulous attention to detail, Dore's engraving transports us back in time to witness this pivotal moment in French history. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork serves as a testament to both human mortality and unwavering faith. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanimages. com, we are reminded that even great leaders are not exempt from fate's grasp. It invites contemplation on themes such as sacrifice, devotion, and our collective journey towards spiritual enlightenment throughout centuries past.
