1897 Beatrix Bourbon Ernest Guillot Illuminated Letters Manuscript Ornamentation Philippe
EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent chromolithograph, titled "Ornementation des Manuscrits au Moyen-Age" (Ornamentation from Manuscripts of the Middle Ages), was published by Ernest Guillot in 1897. The image showcases a collection of illuminated letters, crowns, and a golden cup, all significant symbols of royalty and power during the Middle Ages. At the center of the composition, the crowns of Philippe V of France (reign 1180-1190) and his wife, Beatrix de Bourbon, are depicted. Philippe V was a crucial figure in the Capetian dynasty, and his reign marked the beginning of the French monarchy. Beatrix, a member of the influential Bourbon family, brought significant political alliances to the royal court. Their crowns, intricately designed with precious stones and gold, symbolize their regal status and power. Adorning the crowns are fleurs-de-lis, a symbol of the French monarchy, and other decorative elements typical of the period. Above the crowns, the illuminated letters "PHILIPPVS" and "BEATRICIA" are displayed, highlighting the names of the royal couple. To the right of the image, the golden cup is depicted. This cup, originating from a manuscript in the Bibliotheque de Laon, is an exquisite example of the metalwork and craftsmanship of the Middle Ages. The cup's intricate design, featuring precious stones and gold, further emphasizes the wealth and power of the royal court during this period. This chromolithograph, a beautiful representation of the ornamentation found in medieval manuscripts, offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistic achievements of the Middle Ages. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the opulence and grandeur of the royal courts of the time.
