EDITORS COMMENTS
Alain Chartier, a French poet and political writer from the 15th century, is beautifully portrayed in this painting by Edmund Blair Leighton. The artwork captures a significant moment in Chartier's life as it depicts the mythical kiss on the lips given to him by Margaret of Scotland, daughter of King James I of Scotland. Intricately dressed in Edwardian attire, Margaret leans forward with an air of romance and love while Alain bends down to receive her affectionate gesture. Set against a picturesque garden backdrop, their connection transcends time and place. Leighton's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, showcasing his mastery of color and composition. The vibrant flowers surrounding them symbolize the blossoming nature of their relationship. This enchanting piece transports us back to medieval times when courtly love was celebrated. As Lady-in-Waiting observes discreetly nearby, we are reminded of the complexities that come with matters of the heart within royal circles. The painting not only immortalizes Alain Chartier but also pays homage to Margaret Stewart as she embarks on her journey into royalty. It serves as a testament to their enduring love story and leaves viewers captivated by its timeless beauty.
