EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic image of King Louis IX of France, also known as Saint Louis, carrying the Crown of Thorns. Created by the French School in the 13th century, this masterpiece is made using pot-metal glass and vitreous paint techniques. Measuring 55.1x35.4 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The print was originally made in Tours and later brought to Sens Cathedral before being placed at Sainte-Chapelle by King Louis himself. King Louis IX acquired these precious relics during his crusades to the Holy Land and considered them sacred treasures. His devotion led him to build Sainte-Chapelle specifically to house these relics, including the revered Crown of Thorns. The photograph beautifully showcases a moment frozen in time when King Louis carries this significant relic on its journey towards its final resting place. The stained glass window behind him adds an ethereal glow that enhances both his regal presence and religious significance. This image not only represents a pivotal moment for Christianity but also highlights King Louis' unwavering faith and dedication as he fulfills his duty as ruler while honoring his religious beliefs. It serves as a powerful reminder of medieval times when religion played an integral role in shaping society and influencing monarchs like King Louis IX.
