EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable historical artifact - Ms 6712 (A. 6.89) fol. 123v William I the Conqueror, from the Flores Historiarum manuscript by Matthew Paris dating back to 1250-52. Preserved at Chethams Library in Manchester, UK, this exquisite vellum miniature offers a glimpse into the reign of William I (1028-87), also known as William the Conqueror. Intricately detailed and beautifully crafted, this image captures an iconic moment in history - William's coronation ceremony. The king stands tall and regal, adorned with a majestic crown and holding a sword symbolizing his power and authority. Surrounded by ecclesiastical figures dressed in richly embroidered robes, including bishops and clerics who play significant roles in this sacred event, William receives their blessings while seated on an ornate gothic throne. The medieval atmosphere is palpable through every brushstroke; it transports us back to the eleventh century when Norman Duke William embarked on his conquest of England. This portrait not only immortalizes one of England's most influential rulers but also serves as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of its time. Its intricate details provide valuable insights into both political and religious aspects of medieval society. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded that history lives on through these extraordinary artifacts that continue to captivate our imagination centuries later.
