EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous scene from history as Louis XII, the renowned King of France (1462-1515), makes his grand entrance into Genoa. The image showcases the opulence and power associated with royalty during this era. Under a magnificent canopy, Louis XII is accompanied by four cardinals, symbolizing both his religious authority and political influence. The vibrant colors and intricate details on their robes emphasize their importance in this procession. As the king passes through the city streets, onlookers gather at windows to catch a glimpse of this majestic event. Their faces reflect awe and admiration for their ruler. This snapshot provides us with a rare insight into the daily lives of people living during that time. Louis XII's horse stands tall and proud, adorned with an elaborate caparison that further highlights his regal status. The plumed helmet worn by the king adds an air of chivalry to his appearance. This photograph not only commemorates Louis XII's visit to Genoa but also serves as a reminder of the Italian Wars (1494-1595) that shaped European history during this period. It offers us a window into a world where politics, religion, artistry, and warfare intertwined seamlessly. Bourdichon's masterful execution on vellum brings every detail to life in this exquisite piece from "The Hours of Anne of Brittany" (1515-20). Preserved in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris today, it continues to captivate viewers
