EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical artwork titled "Ms 5089-90 The Death of King Dagobert I" from the Chroniques des Empereurs by David Aubert, created in 1462. Crafted by the talented Brabant School during the 15th century, this vellum masterpiece resides in Bibliotheque de L'Arsenal in Paris, France. The image portrays a significant moment in history as it captures the demise of King Dagobert I (c. 603-639), who was known as the last Frankish king of the Merovingian dynasty. Dividing his kingdom between his sons Sigeburt III and Clovis II, Dagobert's reign marked an era of transition and power struggles within medieval Europe. Intricately illuminated with exquisite detail, this miniature painting depicts a solemn scene at King Dagobert's deathbed. Courtiers surround him while his son stands nearby, symbolizing both inheritance and relinquishing of power. The artist skillfully incorporates elements such as crowns, costumes, and furniture to transport viewers back to this pivotal moment in time. Notably present are crackowe shoes or poulaines worn by courtiers—a fashionable footwear choice during that period—adding authenticity to this historical representation. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into medieval court life and political dynamics. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection for art enthusiasts worldwide
