EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from "History-Populaire-de-France" by Lahure, we see the King of France Louis XI (1423-1483) at a vulnerable moment in 1483. Seriously ill and seeking a miraculous cure, he turns to Francois de Paule (1416-1507), known for his extraordinary healing abilities.
Louis XI, also known as the Prudent King of France, reaches out to St. Francis of Paola in desperation for relief from his ailment. The scene captures the intensity of the moment as the king pleads for guerison, or healing, from the revered hermit.
The intricate details in this engraving transport us back to the late 15th century, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in French history. The image conveys both the power dynamics of royalty and faith in miracles during this era.
As we observe Louis XI's plea for divine intervention, we are reminded of the complexities and uncertainties that defined medieval Europe. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how individuals turned to spirituality and belief in times of great need.
Through this historical artwork, we are invited to reflect on themes of mortality, power struggles, and human vulnerability that transcend time and place. It is a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
