EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the grandeur and majesty of the French monarchy during the reign of King Louis XII (1462-1515). The king is depicted presiding over an assize, or judicial session, of the prestigious Order of Saint-Michel. Established in 1469, the Order of Saint-Michel was one of the most illustrious and ancient chivalric institutions in Europe, dedicated to the Archangel Saint Michael. Louis XII, dressed in his royal robes and adorned with the insignia of the Order, sits confidently on his throne, surrounded by his esteemed courtiers. Their attire reflects the opulence and elegance of the French court, with rich fabrics, intricate embroidery, and ornate headgear. The room is filled with an air of solemnity and importance, as the king and his councilors deliberate on matters of state and justice. The painting masterfully conveys the power and authority of the monarch, as well as the hierarchical structure of the French court. The presence of the Order of Saint-Michel adds an additional layer of significance, emphasizing the religious and chivalric dimensions of royal power. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of splendor and grandeur, when kings ruled with divine right and justice was meted out in the hallowed halls of the monarchy. This exquisite print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for anyone interested in French history, royalty, or the Middle Ages. Its intricate details and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection or research project.
