EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the momentous Coronation of Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony (1129-1195), and his wife Matilda. The image showcases their union as a powerful Christian and political alliance between Germany and England. In the top half of the picture, we see Christ, surrounded by angels and saints, looking down upon this sacred sacrament. The significance of this coronation lies not only in its religious connotations but also in its political implications. Henry II of England's daughter, Matilda, married Henry the Lion in 1168, solidifying an alliance between these two influential nations. This manuscript from the Gospel of Henry the Lion serves as a testament to their shared faith and commitment to each other. The composition beautifully portrays both German and English royalty coming together under one divine presence. It symbolizes unity amidst diversity while emphasizing their devotion to Christianity as a guiding force for their reign. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment that shaped European history. The intricate details captured within this print offer us a glimpse into an era where religion played an integral role in politics and alliances were forged through matrimonial bonds.
