EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Louis the German, also known as Louis II, the first king of East Francia. Born in 806 and grandson to Emperor Charlemagne, he was the third son of Louis the Pious and Ermengarde of Hesbaye. The image captures him adorned in a distinctive crown, donning a grey sleeveless jacket or sayon over a white doublet and hose. In his hands, he holds symbols of power - an orb, sceptre, and sword. The handcoloured lithograph by Villain beautifully brings to life this historical figure from the 9th century. It is based on an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel found in his renowned work "Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France" (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture to be used in the history of France), published in 1827 by Treuttel & Wurtz Bossange. This artwork not only highlights Louis the German's regal appearance but also provides insight into fashion and costume during medieval times. Its intricate details transport us back to ancient history through its illuminated manuscript style. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection for all enthusiasts of French history and art lovers alike. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage while offering a glimpse into one man's reign that shaped East Francia during this pivotal period.
