Louis VII the Young, King of France, embarks on a momentous journey to the Holy Land
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history as Louis VII the Young, King of France, prepares to depart for the Third Crusade. Alongside him stands Alienor d'Aquitaine (also known as Eleonore de Guyenne), his formidable queen and partner in this grand endeavor. As he readies himself for this arduous expedition, Louis VII entrusts the powers of regency to Suger abbe of the abbey of Saint Denis near Paris. Known for his wisdom and scholarly pursuits, Suger is deemed worthy by the king to govern in his absence. The drawing by Damblans beautifully depicts this historical scene with intricate details that transport us back to medieval times. The artist's skillful hand brings out every nuance - from Louis VII's determined expression and regal attire to Alienor d'Aquitaine's grace and strength. This image not only showcases an important event in French history but also highlights the significance of religious orders during this era. It serves as a reminder of how faith played a pivotal role in shaping political alliances and inspiring great expeditions like crusades. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful restoration work has breathed new life into this timeless piece, allowing us to appreciate its historical value even more. This remarkable artwork now resides within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its rich narrative and artistic brilliance.
