EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, where we witness the grandeur and significance of heralds or officers of arms. Dressed in coats adorned with gold fleur-de-lis, these distinguished figures carry ensigns proudly displaying the arms of France. The handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard beautifully captures a miniature from the manuscript Chronicles de Monstrelet, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill prevalent during that era. The image is part of Paul Lacroix's renowned work Costumes Historique de la France (Historical Costumes of France), which was published in Paris in 1852. These herauts or officers of arms were not mere messengers; they held a significant role in medieval society. They acted as official announcers at tournaments, royal ceremonies, and other important events. Their coats of arms symbolized their noble lineage and allegiance to their country. In this image, we are transported to a time when chivalry reigned supreme and courtly customs prevailed. The regal presence exuded by these individuals reminds us of an age steeped in tradition and honor. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but appreciate the historical importance it represents. It serves as a visual testament to the rich heritage and cultural legacy that has shaped France throughout centuries past
