EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 14th century print depicts a significant moment in European history: the marriage of Louis, the noble king of Sicily and son of the duke of Anjou, to the daughter of King Pedro of Aragon. The union of these two powerful dynasties marked a pivotal point in the complex political landscape of the Mediterranean world during this era. The image captures the grandeur and splendor of a noble marriage ceremony, with the bride and groom dressed in their finest attire. The bride, adorned with intricate jewels and a veil, walks towards her groom, who awaits her with a regal expression. Surrounding them are an array of nobles and courtiers, dressed in rich fabrics and bearing the insignia of their respective houses. The marriage customs of the time are on full display, with the exchange of rings, the presentation of gifts, and the blessing of the couple by a priest. The elaborate tapestries and intricately designed furniture in the background add to the opulence of the scene. The marriage of Louis and the Aragonese princess was not only a union of two powerful families but also served to strengthen alliances and forge peace between the Kingdoms of Sicily and Aragon. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history and customs of the 14th century, providing a window into the lives of the noble families who shaped the political landscape of Europe during this period.
