EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Jean V, Duke of Brittany (1389-1442), Charging Olivier Clisson with the Care of his Children" we are transported back to medieval France. The image depicts a poignant scene as the wise and revered Duke Jean V lies on his deathbed, surrounded by grief-stricken loved ones. The duke's piercing gaze reveals both wisdom and vulnerability, knowing that his time is drawing near. With outstretched arm, he entrusts the care of his precious children to Olivier Clisson, a loyal confidant and trusted advisor. This act symbolizes the immense responsibility bestowed upon Clisson in guiding and protecting the future heirs to Brittany's throne. The artist, Sergent-Marceau skillfully captures every intricate detail through delicate engraving techniques enhanced by vibrant colors. Each line tells a story - from the somber expressions on faces to the regal attire befitting royalty. This historical artwork not only showcases French medieval royalty but also serves as a reminder of mortality and succession within ruling families. It invites us to contemplate themes of duty, loyalty, and legacy while immersing ourselves in an era long gone. As we admire this exquisite print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us appreciate its ability to transport us through time and evoke emotions that resonate across centuries.
