EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in French history, depicting the famous exchange between Hugues Capet and his defiant rival Adalbert de Perigord. The tension is palpable as Hugues, who has just been elected king of France, boldly challenges Adalbert with the question "qui t'a fait comte?" (who made you count?) to which Adalbert retorts with "Hugues, qui t'a fait roi?" (Hugues, who made you king?). This exchange symbolizes the power struggle and political intrigue that defined this era. The image transports us back to the year 990, a time of great turmoil and uncertainty in France. Hugues Capet's election as king marked a significant turning point in the country's history, setting the stage for centuries of royal rule. Meanwhile, Adalbert de Perigord's defiance serves as a reminder of the fierce competition and ambition that characterized medieval politics. Through this historical snapshot, we are given a glimpse into the events that shaped France during this period. The expressions on both men's faces convey their determination and resolve as they vie for power and influence. This print is not just a visual representation of past events; it is a window into a world filled with intrigue, rivalry, and ambition.
