EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully carved plaque for a book cover, depicting scenes from the extraordinary life of St. Remigius and the baptism of Clovis I. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 10th century, this intricate piece is now housed in the Musee de Picardie in Amiens, France. The relief sculpture on this ivory plaque tells a powerful story that dates back to ancient times. The scene portrays St. Remigius, also known as Remy, who was the Bishop of Reims during the 5th century. With his hand raised towards heaven, he stands beside King Clovis I of the Franks as they witness his conversion to Christianity through baptism. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line and curve on this medieval masterpiece brings these historical figures to life. The barrel-shaped font used for baptizing Clovis adds depth and symbolism to this momentous occasion. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most significant events – the christening that forever changed Europe's religious landscape. This artwork serves as a testament not only to St. Remigius' influence but also highlights how art has been used throughout centuries to commemorate pivotal moments in human history. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such a detailed relief sculpture and its historical significance within Frankish culture.
