EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork titled "Louis XII of France Kneeling in Prayer, Accompanied by Saints Michael, Charlemagne, Louis, and Denis" created by Jean Bourdichon during the late 15th century. The piece is part of the renowned manuscript known as The Hours of Louis XII, which was a beautifully illuminated prayer book commissioned for King Louis XII. In this exquisite painting, we see King Louis XII depicted in a moment of deep devotion as he kneels in prayer. Surrounding him are four saints: Saint Michael, Saint Charlemagne, Saint Louis (the king's namesake), and Saint Denis. Each figure is meticulously painted with vibrant colors and adorned with intricate details. The use of tempera and gold on parchment adds a touch of opulence to this religious image. It reflects the artistic mastery of Bourdichon and his ability to create visually stunning works that were highly sought after during the Renaissance period. This artwork not only serves as a testament to King Louis XII's piety but also highlights the importance of religion during that era. It offers us a glimpse into French history and illuminates the significance placed on faith within royal circles. Displayed at J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this print allows viewers to appreciate both its historical context and artistic brilliance.
