EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical illustration captures the essence of a bygone era - the chariot of one of the Rois Faineants or later Merovingian kings. Created in 1915 by Hansi, a renowned artist known for his satirical and humorous works, this colour lithograph is a delightful portrayal of medieval life. The scene depicts a regal king reclining comfortably in his carriage, surrounded by loyal guards. The oxen pulling the wagon seem to be at ease as well, adding to the overall relaxed atmosphere. The intricate details on the chariot showcase its opulence and grandeur, reflecting the status and power of its occupant. Hansi's playful style shines through in this artwork, with exaggerated features and comical expressions adorning both humans and animals alike. This light-hearted approach adds an element of charm to an otherwise historical subject matter. Through this illustration, we catch a glimpse into the world of lazy kings - rulers who came after Dagobert I during the Merovingian dynasty. While historically significant figures, they were often criticized for their lackadaisical approach to governance. Overall, this print not only showcases Hansi's artistic talent but also provides us with an amusing insight into medieval times. It serves as a reminder that even within serious historical contexts, there is always room for lightheartedness and laughter.
