EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print from the 19th century showcases King Louis IX of France during a crusade in the 13th century. The image, part of a series on the reign of Louis IX, depicts him as a powerful and devout ruler leading his knights into battle. Clad in regal armor and mounted on horseback, he exudes authority and determination. The scene transports us back to the Middle Ages, where warfare was an integral part of life. The card serves as an educational tool, offering insights into the seventh crusade and its significance in European history. It highlights the religious fervor that drove many to fight for Christianity during this time. Louis IX's role as both king and devout Christian is emphasized through this artwork. His commitment to his faith is evident as he leads his troops with unwavering conviction. This portrayal also underscores his royal status within the Capetian dynasty. Through this print, we glimpse into a bygone era filled with chivalry, honor, and religious zeal. It reminds us of the complex tapestry that shaped medieval Europe – from battles fought for religion to kings who sought glory on foreign lands. As we admire this historical artifact captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of King Louis IX's enduring legacy as "Louis the Saint" – a monarch whose influence extended far beyond his own lifetime.
