EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in French history as the regent of France, Louise de Savoie, receives a precious gift from the city of Amiens. The photograph showcases an exquisite manuscript known as "The Book of Two Echevins" which was generously donated to Louise de Savoie in 1517. Colored by the talented Jean Pichon, this miniature is a true work of art. In the foreground, we see the weapons of Amiens proudly displayed, symbolizing their loyalty and dedication to their regent. The manuscript itself contains royal paintings and songs from the renowned Puy Jam Notre Dame d'Amiens. It serves not only as a historical record but also as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Picardy. Louise de Savoie's role as regent during this period was crucial in maintaining stability and order within France. Her receipt of this remarkable gift further solidifies her position and highlights her influence over political affairs. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to sixteenth-century Paris where politics intertwined with artistry and literature. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when manuscripts were treasured possessions that conveyed power, knowledge, and prestige. Preserved at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris today, this manuscript stands as a testament to both its unknown artist's talent and Louise de Savoie's significance in French history.
