EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases Dagobert I, King of the Franks, commencing the construction of the iconic Basilica of St Denis in France. Created by an unknown European School artist in the 19th century, this educational card offers a glimpse into the historical significance and architectural marvels of the 7th century. The image captures a momentous ceremony as Dagobert I, accompanied by his bishop and stonemasons, lays down the foundation stone with a trowel. This act symbolizes not only his commitment to Christianity but also his dedication to building a monumental structure that would stand as a testament to Frankish power and religious devotion. The Basilica of St Denis holds immense historical importance as it became the final resting place for French monarchs. Its construction marked a turning point in architectural design, introducing elements that would later become characteristic of Gothic architecture. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this print transports us back in time to witness this pivotal event in French history. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool, allowing us to appreciate the rich heritage embedded within these ancient walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how art can beautifully capture moments that have shaped our world today.
