EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a unique moment in history - The lazy kings being paraded in a cart pulled by oxen during public ceremonies. Dating back to the 7th century, this image offers a glimpse into the extravagant and sometimes bizarre displays of power by royalty. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the opulence and grandeur of these lazy kings as they are transported through the streets in their royal cart. The oxen dutifully pulling their regal cargo symbolize both strength and servitude, highlighting the contrast between luxury and labor. As we gaze upon this scene from centuries past, we are reminded of the complexities of monarchy and how rulers often sought to assert their authority through elaborate spectacles. The lazy kings depicted here may have been criticized for their lackadaisical approach to governance, but in this moment they are elevated on a pedestal for all to see. Through Photo Josse's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this fascinating display of power and privilege. This print serves as a reminder that even those who hold great influence can be subject to scrutiny and ridicule, making it an intriguing piece for any art enthusiast or history buff.
