EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the entry of Louis VIII, King of France, and the Papal Legate Cardinal St. Angelo into Avignon in 1226. The city had just surrendered after enduring a grueling three-month siege. From the pages of "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" by Paul Lacroix, published in London around 1880, this illustration transports us back to medieval times. In this scene, we witness the triumphant arrival of King Louis VIII accompanied by Cardinal St. Angelo amidst a jubilant crowd. The king's regal presence is enhanced by his lion emblem symbolizing strength and courage. As he rides through the streets of Avignon, it becomes evident that this event marks an important turning point for both French and papal influence. The image beautifully depicts the blend of military might and religious authority that characterized life during the Middle Ages. It serves as a reminder of how power was often intertwined with faith during this period. Ken Welsh's expertly crafted print allows us to appreciate not only historical events but also their artistic representation from over a century ago. This visual masterpiece invites us to delve deeper into our understanding of medieval society while marveling at its intricate details and rich symbolism.
