EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous historical event in vivid detail. The illustration, created by Job (Jacques Marie Gaston Onfray and Breville), depicts the baptism of King Clovis I by Saint Remy at the Cathedrale of Reims on December 25,496. The scene is brought to life with intricate brushstrokes and rich colors, showcasing the artist's skill and attention to detail. The caption derives its title from a powerful quote attributed to Saint Remy himself: "Curve your head, proud Sicamber, love what you burns, burn what you love". These words encapsulate the profound significance of this religious ceremony as well as the complex relationship between faith and power during that era. The image transports us back in time to witness this pivotal moment when Christianity took root in France. It portrays Saint Remy gracefully baptizing King Clovis I while surrounded by an aura of divine light. This symbolic act marked not only a personal transformation for the king but also signaled a significant shift in political alliances and cultural identity. Job's illustration was originally created for the book "Les grands mots historiques du pays de France" published in 1915. Its inclusion in this private collection allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical importance. Through this photo print, we can delve into centuries-old history and gain insight into how religion shaped societies throughout time.
