EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in history, captured from the pages of the Grandes Chroniques de France. The image depicts F. 11r St. Remigius, the revered Bishop of Rheims from 438 to 533, baptising and anointing Clovis I, King of the Franks (465-511). The scene is rich with symbolism and historical importance. As St. Remigius pours holy water over Clovis I's head from a barrel-shaped vessel, he marks not only the baptism but also the conversion of Clovis I to Christianity. This pivotal event played a crucial role in shaping medieval Europe. Clovis I stands tall and regal as he receives this sacred sacrament, wearing his crown that signifies his royal authority. The manuscript itself is beautifully crafted on vellum by an anonymous French artist during the 14th century. Preserved within Bibliotheque Municipale in Castres, France, this remarkable artwork transports us back in time to witness this early Christian ritual firsthand. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and political power during this era. Through Bridgeman Images' lens capturing every intricate detail of this masterpiece without any commercial intent or use involved; we are granted access to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance for generations to come
