EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking illustration is taken from the "Grandes Chroniques de France," a 14th-century chronicle that documents the history of the French monarchy. The focus of this particular image is Charles II, also known as Charles the Wise, who ruled as King of France from 1346 to 1380. Charles was a significant figure in French history, known for his wisdom, piety, and military prowess. The illustration captures Charles in an upright position, dressed in the regal attire of the time, with a crown on his head and a scepter in his right hand. He is surrounded by a group of men, likely his courtiers or advisors, who pay homage to him. The scene is depicted in vibrant colors, with intricate details that showcase the artistic skill of the illuminator. The illustration is housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, which is renowned for its extensive collection of art and historical artifacts. The museum, which was once the private collection of the House of Bourbon, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in French history and culture. The "Grandes Chroniques de France" is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the political, social, and cultural developments of medieval France. This illustration, in particular, offers a glimpse into the courtly life of King Charles II and the reverence he commanded from his subjects.
