EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, as depicted in the Grandes Chroniques de France. Fol. 11r St. Remigius, Bishop of Rheims (c. 438-533), stands tall and regal, baptizing and anointing Clovis I (465-511), the esteemed King of the Franks. The scene is rich with symbolism and detail that transports us back to 498 AD. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the baptism itself, taking place within a grand barrel-like tub adorned with intricate designs. St. Remigius pours water over Clovis I's head while holding a sacred vessel filled with holy oil for anointment - both crucial elements in this early Christian ritual. Clovis I, donning his royal crown, kneels before the bishop with reverence and humility as he embraces his newfound faith under St. Remigius' guidance. This pivotal event marked not only Clovis I's personal conversion but also signaled the official adoption of Christianity by the Frankish kingdom. The medieval setting adds to the mystique surrounding this historical moment; every brushstroke on vellum tells a story from centuries past. Preserved within Bibliotheque Municipale in Castres, France, this artwork serves as a testament to both religious devotion and political power during medieval times. Through Bridgeman Images' meticulous reproduction techniques, we can now appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable piece without leaving our present-day world behind – allowing us to delve
