EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the regal and majestic presence of two powerful rulers from history, King Louis IV of France and Lothaire I, emperor of the Romans. Both kings are depicted in elaborate attire, wearing tunics and coats of different lengths that signify their high rank and status.
King Louis IV is adorned with a closed crown resembling a diadem, while his sceptre is topped with a pine cone. In contrast, Lothaire I wears a simple gold circle crown decorated with flowers, and his sceptre is topped with a single flower. The intricate details of their garments showcase the opulence and grandeur associated with royalty during this time period.
The mantle worn by both kings was reserved for individuals of elevated rank among the Franks and Anglo Saxons. Louis IV's mantle hangs loosely over his breast without any fastenings, while Lothaire I's shorter mantle is arranged like a Greek chlamys and bordered with gold embroidery.
This hand-colored copper engraving from Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages" (1796) provides a glimpse into the lavish fashion choices favored by these influential monarchs. The attention to detail in their attire reflects not only their wealth but also their power as leaders in medieval Europe.
