EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "St Louis at Damietta" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a pivotal moment in history. The French School artist skillfully captures the essence of this religious and military scene, transporting us to the Middle Ages. In this illustration, we witness Saint Louis IX, King of France (1214-1270), leading his troops during the Seventh Crusade. Clad in shining armor and wielding a lance, he stands tall on his ship as it approaches Damietta in Egypt. The flag proudly flies high above him, representing Christianity's presence amidst battle. The image not only highlights the bravery and determination of Saint Louis but also serves as an advertisement for Chocolat de L'Abbaye D'Igny. This unexpected pairing adds an intriguing layer to the artwork - a sweet indulgence intertwined with tales of war and religion. As we delve into this historical postcard produced by Chocolat de L'Abbaye D'Igny, we are reminded that even amidst conflict and strife, life goes on. Advertisements like these were common during that era when companies sought creative ways to promote their products while capitalizing on public interest in historical events. Through this fascinating print from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are transported through time - witnessing both the power of art to capture significant moments and how commerce can intertwine with history itself.
