EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Louis I, the Pious, the Fair, King of Aquitaine, a prominent figure in medieval European history. The image, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," offers a detailed and elegant portrayal of the king's regal attire and accessories. Louis I, born in 826 AD, was the eldest son of Emperor Louis the Pious and his wife, Judith of Bavaria. He was the King of Aquitaine from 838 until his death in 877. This print captures the king in his ecclesiastical robes, reflecting his dual role as both a secular ruler and a devout bishop. The miter and episcopal cape, adorned with gold and intricate designs, symbolize his ecclesiastical position. The crosier, a pastoral staff carried by bishops, further emphasizes his religious role. The crown on his head signifies his secular power as the King of Aquitaine. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the print, bringing the historical figure to life. The detailed engraving, a hallmark of Leopold Massard's work, showcases the intricacies of medieval fashion and the artistry of the time. This print offers a unique glimpse into the world of medieval Europe, providing insight into the fashion, history, and culture of the period. Louis I, the Pious, the Fair, was a significant figure in medieval Europe, known for his piety, military prowess, and diplomatic skills. This print serves as a testament to his legacy and the rich history of the era in which he lived.
