EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elaborate costumes of Frankish lords at the court of Charles the Bald in the 9th century. The image, captured by Villain in the 19th century, depicts these noble figures adorned in helmets, cloaks, armor, hose, and armed with swords, lances, and shields. The scene is inspired by an illuminated manuscript that portrays Charles the Bald receiving the Vivian Bible. This precious artifact known as the First Bible of Charles le Chauve dates back to 845 and holds great historical significance. Handcolored lithography brings this ancient fashion to life with vibrant hues meticulously applied by Villain after an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel. This particular artwork belongs to a collection called "Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France" published in 1827 by Treuttel & Wurtz Bossange. The image transports us back to a time when traditional armor was worn proudly on battlefields and within royal courts. It offers a glimpse into medieval French history and allows us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and cultural significance. Through this stunning photograph print from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we can immerse ourselves in a world where knights stood tall as symbols of power and chivalry while honoring their allegiance to their lord at court.
