EDITORS COMMENTS
The chromolithograph print captures a pivotal moment in history - the excommunication of King Robert II, also known as Robert the Pious, in 998. The king's decision to marry his cousin Berthe of Burgundy went against the laws and customs of the time, leading to his punishment by the church. In this stunning image from the end of the 19th century, we see King Robert kneeling before a group of clergy members, his head bowed in shame. The vibrant colors bring to life the drama and tension of this historical event, highlighting the power struggle between royalty and religious authority. The intricate details in this lithograph showcase not only the elaborate robes and regalia worn by both King Robert and his accusers but also capture the emotions running high during this tumultuous period. The expressions on their faces tell a story of betrayal, defiance, and ultimately redemption. As we gaze upon this piece of art, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of France's most controversial royal marriages. It serves as a reminder that even kings are not above reproach when it comes to matters of love and duty.
