EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a moment of historical significance as Philip IV of France enters Notre Dame on horseback. The image depicts the king, also known as Philip the Fair, making his way into the cathedral to thank God for his escape during the Battle of the Golden Spurs against the Flemish in 1302. This victory marked his success in the overall Franco-Flemish War, and as a gesture of gratitude, he donated his equestrian effigy to Notre Dame.
Philip IV was a powerful ruler who reigned over France from 1285 to 1314 and also held the title of King of Navarre through marriage. His presence on horseback symbolizes strength, nobility, and royalty as he pays homage to God in this sacred place.
The intricate details captured in this photograph transport us back to the 19th century when it was first published in Histoire de France. The grandeur of Notre Dame de Paris serves as a majestic backdrop for this historic moment, showcasing both architectural beauty and royal splendor.
Through this image by © Ken Welsh from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of a time when kings rode gallantly into cathedrals to express their gratitude and seek divine blessings for their victories.
