EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts King Charles VI of France, also known as Charles the Good Aime and later Charles the Fol, engaging in a game of cards with his mistress Odette de Champdivers. The engraving is taken from "Paris a travers les siecles" by Knee in 1880, showcasing an intimate moment between the king and his lover. In this historical snapshot, we catch a glimpse of the complex dynamics that existed within French royalty during the 15th century. Despite being married to Queen Isabeau of Bavaria, King Charles VI found solace and companionship in Odette's company. Their shared passion for card games serves as a metaphor for their forbidden love and secret rendezvous. The black and white medium adds an air of mystery to this image, highlighting the clandestine nature of their relationship. It invites us to ponder upon questions surrounding morality, loyalty, and power within medieval society. As we delve into this piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only a significant moment in history but also gain insight into human emotions transcending centuries. This enchanting engraving captures both the beauty and complexity inherent in relationships that defy societal norms while reminding us that love knows no boundaries - even among kings and mistresses.
