EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Archbishop of Rheims, Archeveque de Reims, proudly wearing his mitre during the 15th century. The Archbishop of Rheims held significant religious and political power in medieval Europe, making this an important representation of ecclesiastical authority. The intricately detailed image is taken from Loredan Larchey's Ancient Equestrian Armorials of the Order of the Golden Fleece and Europe in the 15th century, published in Paris in 1890. The armorial, housed in the Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal, provides a visual record of the coats of arms of noble families and ecclesiastical dignitaries from across Europe. The Archbishop's mitre, a traditional headdress worn by bishops and archbishops, is adorned with intricate designs and symbols, reflecting the spiritual and temporal power of the wearer. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of detailed and vibrant images, enhances the visual impact of this historic representation. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of medieval Europe, showcasing the grandeur and importance of the Archbishop of Rheims during this period.
