EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph captures a pivotal moment in history - the cancellation of the marriage (divorce) of King Louis VII and Queen Alienor of Aquitaine on 21 March 1152. The Synod of Beaugency made this decision on grounds of inbreeding, marking the end of a royal union that had far-reaching consequences. In the image, we see Queen Alienor looking regal yet somber, her expression hinting at the turmoil within. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this historical event from the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into a time long past. The dissolution of this marriage was not just a personal matter but had political implications as well. Queen Alienor went on to marry Henry II of England, sparking conflict between France and England that would shape European history for centuries to come. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the complexities and intrigues that surrounded medieval royalty. It serves as a reminder that even powerful monarchs were subject to societal norms and pressures, with their personal lives often intertwined with matters of state. Overall, this chromolithograph is not just a beautiful piece of art but also a window into an important chapter in European history.
