EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Constable threw himself on his knees before the King" transports us back to the medieval court of France. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this artwork captures a powerful moment in history. In this scene, we witness the dramatic encounter between the constable of France and King Charles VI. The constable, adorned in regal armor, humbles himself before his sovereign as he kneels down with utmost reverence. The intensity of their interaction is palpable, reflecting both loyalty and submission. The image is part of Les Chroniqueurs de L'Histoire de France, a renowned historical account written by Madame de Witt and published by Librairie Hachette et Cie in Paris during 1885. This particular print has been digitally restored to its original glory for our viewing pleasure. Through this engraving, we gain insight into the intricate dynamics that shaped medieval Europe's royal courts. It serves as a reminder of the immense power wielded by monarchs and their trusted confidants such as constables. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us be transported to a time when kneeling before royalty was not only expected but also symbolized unwavering allegiance and devotion.
