The Aged King Louis XI of France - A Portrait of Fear and Mortality
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph, we are transported back to the 15th century, where we witness the aged King Louis XI of France grappling with his deepest anxieties. Painted by Job, pseudonym for Onfray de Breville and Jacques (1858-1931), this artwork captures a poignant moment in history. King Louis XI sits upon his ornate throne, adorned in regal attire - a symbol of power and authority. However, it is not his crown or palace that commands our attention; rather, it is the unmistakable dread etched across his face. The artist masterfully portrays the king's fear of death as he confronts mortality head-on. The intricate details on display here transport us to medieval France. We can almost feel the weight of history bearing down on Louis XI's shoulders as he contemplates what lies beyond life's threshold. His cloak drapes around him like a shroud, emphasizing both his vulnerability and impending doom. This image serves as a reminder that even those who hold great power are not immune to human frailty. It speaks to our shared experience of facing mortality and evokes feelings of empathy and introspection within us all. Through this print, Job invites us into an intimate moment with one of history's most influential figures – a man whose reign shaped Europe during the late 15th century. As we gaze upon this artwork, we cannot help but be moved by its depiction of anguish and terror that transcends time itself.
