EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - an illuminated manuscript depicting King Philip II of France, dating back to the late 13th century. The image is taken from the Chroniques de Saint-Denis, also known as one of the Grandes Chroniques de France, and is currently held at the Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve in Paris. In this exquisite artwork, we see King Philip II immersed in prayer, surrounded by heavenly figures. His devout posture and serene expression convey his deep connection with spirituality and divine guidance. As a significant ruler during his time (1165-1223), Philip II's reign was marked by both triumphs and challenges. The artist skillfully captures the essence of medieval life through intricate details such as elaborate clothing and ornate surroundings. This miniature offers us a glimpse into the world of royalty, where birthright and divine right played crucial roles in shaping their destiny. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness not only a historical figure but also an era defined by power struggles, religious devotion, life's fragility, and ultimate mortality. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of kingship while reminding us that even those who hold great authority seek solace in prayer. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this rare gem for all art enthusiasts to admire – an awe-inspiring blend of artistic craftsmanship and historical significance captured on vellum centuries ago.
