EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in the history of Gaul. The image depicts Dagobert I, the king of the Francs during 603/608-639, receiving Saint Eloi, a renowned figure from that era. Saint Eloi is known for his exceptional craftsmanship and here he presents two magnificent gold thrones to King Dagobert I. The scene exudes grandeur and power as the king sits on his throne adorned with regal attire while graciously accepting these precious gifts. The intricate details of the thrones showcase Saint Eloi's mastery in metalwork and highlight his importance within society. This historical encounter between royalty and saintly figures symbolizes not only their close relationship but also emphasizes the significance of religion and art during this period. It serves as a testament to how faith played an integral role in shaping political alliances and cultural developments. Captured by Ferdinand Raffin in 1923 for "Histoire de France learned by image and direct observation" this print allows us to delve into Gaul's rich past through visual storytelling. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we can't help but marvel at its ability to transport us back centuries ago, immersing ourselves in a world where kings sought divine favor through encounters with revered saints like Saint Eloi.
