EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the historic moment when Charles VII was anointed King of France at the Sainte-Croix de Reims cathedral on July 17, 1429. The ceremony, a pivotal event in French history, marked the end of the Hundred Years' War and the restoration of the French monarchy. Charles VII, dressed in regal attire, sits on a throne as the Archbishop of Reims, Jean de Gerson, administers the anointing oil to him. The scene is filled with a sense of solemnity and importance, as the newly crowned king looks out at the assembled crowd. The presence of Joan of Arc, the heroic Maid of Orléans, adds an extraordinary dimension to the event. She stands proudly behind Charles VII, her iconic armor shining in the light that streams in through the cathedral windows. Joan, who had played a crucial role in the French victory at Orléans just two years earlier, had brought Charles to Reims to be anointed and crowned, fulfilling a divine mission she believed to be her duty. The print, with its intricate details and rich colors, transports us back to this momentous occasion. The faces of the onlookers, their expressions filled with awe and reverence, add to the sense of history unfolding before us. This powerful image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Charles VII's coronation and the indomitable spirit of Joan of Arc.
