EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Baptism of Clovis I in 496 A. D. The scene depicts St. Remi, anointing Clovis I with holy water as Queen Clotilda observes closely. This exquisite detail is taken from an ivory diptych dating back to the 9th century. The relief carving showcases the grandeur and regality of this royal event. Clovis I, adorned in his majestic crown and robe, stands before St. Remi with a sense of reverence and awe. Queen Clotilda, dressed elegantly, watches attentively as her husband undergoes this transformative ritual. The ancient medieval setting adds depth and authenticity to this remarkable piece of artistry. The meticulous craftsmanship on the ivory diptych brings out intricate details that transport us back to early Christian times. This image symbolizes more than just a baptism; it represents the conversion of Clovis I to Christianity, marking a pivotal moment for both him and his Frankish kingdom. It serves as a testament to the power of faith and its influence on shaping history. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph print, we are reminded not only of the religious significance but also appreciate it as an invaluable historical artifact that connects us with our past – reminding us how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
