EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the coronation of Charles VI by the peers of France on September 16,1380. The image is a miniature from "Grandes Chronicles de France" by Jean Fouquet, an esteemed artist of the 15th century Paris. In this beautifully illuminated scene, we witness the solemnity and grandeur of the occasion. Charles VI stands tall and regal, adorned in royal robes and wearing a magnificent crown upon his head. Surrounding him are the peers of France, distinguished figures who have gathered to bestow their blessings and support for their new king. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every intricate design on Charles VI's robe and crown has been meticulously captured by Jean Fouquet's skilled hand. The lily flower, symbolizing purity and royalty, can be seen prominently displayed throughout the composition. As we gaze at this masterpiece frozen in time, we are transported back to an era filled with political intrigue and power struggles. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on ceremonial rituals during medieval times when legitimacy was often established through elaborate coronations. This print not only showcases Jean Fouquet's artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into French history during the Middle Ages. It is truly a treasure that allows us to appreciate both artistry and historical significance simultaneously.
