EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment of the death of Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, King of France. The engraving by Georges Rouget beautifully depicts the scene of his passing during the Eighth Crusade in front of Tunisia on 25th August. Surrounded by French princes and emissaries from the Byzantine emperor Baldwin II, Louis IX's sacrifice for his faith and country is palpable.
The intricate details in this 19th-century artwork transport us back to a time when religion and politics were deeply intertwined. The expressions of grief on the faces of those around him convey the profound impact that Louis IX had on society during his reign.
As we gaze at this historical masterpiece, we are reminded of the legacy left behind by Saint Louis - a man who dedicated his life to serving both God and his people. His unwavering devotion to Christianity and his commitment to upholding justice have solidified his place in history as one of France's most revered monarchs.
This engraving not only serves as a visual representation of a significant moment in European history but also as a tribute to a remarkable leader whose memory continues to inspire generations.
