EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a tender moment between father and son during a celebratory feast following the coronation of the young Prince Henry, later to become King Henry II of England, in the year 1170. The prince, dressed in regal attire and adorned with the symbols of his newfound authority, sits at a grand table laden with sumptuous delicacies. His father, King Henry I, affectionately entertains his son, their bond unbroken despite the political turmoil and power struggles that would soon ensue. The elder Henry, dressed in the rich robes of royalty and bedecked with the ermine-trimmed mantle of his office as Archbishop of Rouen, gazes warmly at his son. The crown, a symbol of the monarchy, rests on the table between them, a reminder of the heavy responsibilities that lie ahead for the young prince. The ornate table setting, with its intricate gold and silverware, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the medieval court. The scene exudes a sense of familial love and unity, a poignant reminder of the complex dynamics that underpinned the medieval royal family. The image offers a glimpse into the personal side of these historical figures, providing a rare insight into the human emotions that shaped the political landscape of the 1170s. This evocative print, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, invites us to reflect on the enduring power of family bonds and the challenges of leadership in the face of adversity.
