EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 13th century, showcasing King David immersed in his musical talents. The image captures a wood engraving of a painted window in the Chapel of the Virgin, Cathedral of Troyes. Created by Paul Lacroix for his book "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of the Renaissance" in 1870, this print beautifully depicts King David playing on a rote. Intriguingly, King David is portrayed as both a monarch and a musician, highlighting his multifaceted nature. With bow in hand, he skillfully plays this medieval stringed instrument known as rote or lyre. His focused expression reveals his dedication to creating harmonious melodies that resonate through time. This monochrome portrayal brings an air of nostalgia as it transports us to an era filled with artistic grandeur and cultural richness. The attention to detail in this engraving showcases not only the talent of its creator but also highlights the significance placed on music during medieval times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with history and how it continues to captivate our imagination centuries later. It serves as a testament to human creativity and reminds us that even amidst royal duties, individuals like King David found solace and joy through their artistic pursuits.
