EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in French history, as the young King Louis XI and Cardinal Jean Jouffroy engage in negotiations on behalf of Pope Pius II. The year is around 1460, and the focus of their discussion is the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges, a decree that established the French sovereign as the guardian of church property.
Louis XI, known for his cunning diplomacy and political maneuvering, listens intently to Cardinal Jouffroy's arguments. The cardinal, a respected prelate and diplomat, presents the pope's case with eloquence and conviction. Their meeting symbolizes the complex power dynamics between church and state during this period.
The engraving beautifully captures the tension in the room as these influential figures debate an issue that will have far-reaching consequences for both religious authority and royal prerogatives. The intricate details of their attire and expressions add depth to this historical scene.
As viewers gaze upon this print from "Histoire de la Bastille" by Auguste Maquet, they are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in French politics. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like Louis XI and Cardinal Jouffroy shaped the course of history through their negotiations and decisions.
