EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "Charles V of France perceiving the Approach of Death recommends to his Brothers his Family and Kingdom" captures a poignant moment in history. In this 18th-century artwork by an English School artist, we witness Charles V, also known as Charles the Wise, facing his mortality. As death looms near, Charles V gathers his strength to impart wisdom and guidance to his brothers. With a solemn expression on his face, he gestures towards his family and kingdom, emphasizing their importance and urging them to protect what he has built. This image transports us back to the 14th century, a time of political turmoil and power struggles. Charles V was renowned for being an astute ruler who brought stability and prosperity to France during challenging times. His reign marked a period of cultural growth known as the "Babylonian Captivity" where French art flourished under royal patronage. The composition exudes regality with its depiction of kingship through symbols such as crowns and robes. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders must confront their mortality eventually. Through this engraving, we glimpse into history's pages - witnessing not only the approaching end of one man's life but also contemplating the legacy he leaves behind. The artwork invites us to reflect on our own mortality while reminding us of the enduring impact leaders can have on their families and kingdoms long after they are gone.
