EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical moment - the loading of St. Louis' coffin on board at Tunis in 1270. Taken from the Grandes Chroniques de France, this vellum artwork was created by an anonymous French artist during the 15th century. The image transports us back to a time of crusades and religious fervor, as we witness the solemn procession of clergy and crusaders preparing to embark on their journey across treacherous waters. The scene is filled with emotion, capturing both grief for the loss of St. Louis and determination to continue his mission. The medieval sailing ships stand tall against the backdrop of Tunis, symbolizing hope amidst uncertainty. The attention to detail in this illustrated manuscript is remarkable; every line etched onto vellum tells a story of devotion and sacrifice. St. Louis IX, known for his piety and commitment to Christianity, led the ninth crusade before meeting his untimely demise during its course. This poignant moment immortalized in ink serves as a reminder of his legacy and dedication to spreading faith beyond borders. As we gaze upon this ancient artwork, we are reminded that history has shaped our present reality, leaving behind tales that deserve remembrance. It is through such visual treasures that we can connect with our past and appreciate those who came before us - their triumphs, struggles, and unwavering spirit still echoing through time.
