EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable depiction of a Capetian queen from the year 1360. The image, which was created between 1882 and 1884, is based on a portal found in the renowned Chartres Cathedral. The Capetian dynasty, tracing its lineage back to Hugh Capet (940-996), reigned over France for nearly three centuries until 1328. In this print, we witness the regal elegance of the medieval monarch as she stands gracefully adorned in her resplendent attire. Her vibrant purple cloak drapes majestically around her shoulders, symbolizing her noble status and authority. A magnificent crown rests upon her head, signifying her royal lineage and power. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly astounding; every fold of fabric and intricate design element has been meticulously captured by the artist's hand. This portrayal offers us a glimpse into the opulent world of French royalty during the Middle Ages. As we admire this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where queens held significant influence over their country and people. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that France possesses and reminds us of its enduring legacy throughout history. This stunning print is part of "La France et les Francais à Travers les Siècles". Volume II - an invaluable collection edited by F Roy with contributions from A Challamel - providing us with insights into various aspects of French history.
