EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning manuscript page, created in 1365, depicts the Order of the Coronation of the King of France, an intricate and symbolic ceremony that marked the beginning of Charles V's reign. The image captures the moment just before the anointing and crowning of the new king, as he stands before the assembled clergy and nobility, dressed in his royal robes and holding the scepter and orb. Charles V, the son of John II of France, ascended to the throne at the tender age of 21, following his father's death in 1364. His coronation, held in Reims Cathedral, was a grand affair that reflected the rich history and traditions of the French monarchy. The Order of the Coronation, as depicted in this manuscript, outlines the various rituals and ceremonies that were an integral part of the coronation process. The illustration is filled with intricate details, from the elaborate costumes of the clergy and nobility to the ornate decorations of the cathedral. The use of vibrant colors and bold lines adds to the sense of grandeur and importance of the occasion. The manuscript itself is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the late medieval period in France. The Order of the Coronation of the King of France provides a fascinating glimpse into the customs and traditions of royal coronations in medieval France. It offers a unique insight into the symbolism and significance of the ceremony, as well as the role of the monarchy in French society during this period. This beautiful manuscript page is a reminder of the rich history and enduring legacy of the French monarchy, and a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the medieval period.
