EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Jacques Coeur, a prominent figure in French history, as he sits at his ornate desk adorned with intricate carvings and an open ledger. Born in 1395, Jacques Coeur rose to prominence as a merchant and manufacturer during the reign of King Charles VII (1422-1461). He gained his immense wealth through his shrewd trading ventures and successful manufacturing businesses, which included the production of textiles and luxury goods. In this portrait, Jacques Coeur is shown wearing the robes of a high-ranking official, signifying his appointment as Chancellor of France in 1451. The rich purple and green fabric of his robe and cloak symbolize his status and wealth. The Chancellor was a position of great power and responsibility, and Jacques Coeur used his influence to further the interests of the monarchy and the realm. Despite his significant accomplishments, Jacques Coeur's life was not without controversy. He was accused of heresy and was briefly imprisoned, but was eventually released and continued to serve the king. His legacy as a successful merchant, manufacturer, and Chancellor endured, and he remains an important figure in French history. This evocative print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of Jacques Coeur and the power and wealth that he wielded during the 15th century in France.
