EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 18th-century engraving by Jean Michel Moreau, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The print depicts Philip I, the King of the Francs from 1052 to 1108, visiting the court of Foulques le Rechin, the Count of Anjou. However, this journey holds more than meets the eye - it serves as a clever pretext for arranging Philip's marriage to Bertrade de Montfort. The scene is filled with intrigue and political maneuvering as these powerful figures come together. The artist beautifully captures their regal presence and the opulence of their surroundings. We can almost feel the tension in the air as alliances are formed and secrets whispered behind closed doors. Philip's decision to marry Bertrade de Montfort, who was already married to Count Foulques le Rechin at that time, adds an extra layer of complexity to this historical event. It speaks volumes about his ambition and willingness to use any means necessary to secure his power. This engraving not only showcases Moreau le Jeune's artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter in French history. It reminds us that even centuries ago, politics and love were often intertwined on royal courts' grand stages.
