EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 15th-century print depicts the Court of Charles V, also known as Charles the Wise or Charles the Learned (1338-1380), King of France and Navarre. The scene unfolds in a grand, open-air setting, with Charles seated regally on his throne, surrounded by an assembly of scholars and learned men. The king, renowned for his wisdom and patronage of the arts and sciences, is shown in deep conversation with a bearded scholar, gesturing animatedly with a raised hand. The atmosphere is one of intellectual curiosity and lively discourse, as other scholars engage in animated debates and scribble notes in their books. The richly dressed attendees, with their fur-trimmed robes and pointed hats, add an air of opulence and sophistication to the gathering. In the background, a castle or fortified town can be seen, reminding us of the political power and stability that supported this thriving intellectual community. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the social scene of the 14th-century French court, where learning and knowledge were highly valued and celebrated. The image of Charles V surrounded by his scholars underscores his reputation as a wise and enlightened ruler, who recognized the importance of cultivating the minds of his subjects for the betterment of society as a whole.
