EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment frozen in time - the coronation of Dagobert I, King of the Franks, receiving the Kingdom of France. The image is extracted from the Grandes Chroniques de France, a renowned manuscript dating back to the 14th century. Crafted on vellum by an anonymous French artist, this masterpiece now resides in Bibliotheque Municipale in Castres, France. Dagobert I was not just any king; he was the eldest son of Clothar II and played a significant role in shaping medieval Europe. In this scene, we witness him surrounded by bishops and monks as they bestow upon him his rightful title and authority. A bishop stands tall beside Dagobert with his crosse held high while another monk presents him with a crozier - symbols representing spiritual guidance and leadership. The attention to detail within this artwork is awe-inspiring; every fold in their robes and every strand of hair meticulously captured on vellum. This print transports us back centuries ago when monarchy reigned supreme and religious figures held immense power. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate its historical significance and marvel at how it has survived through generations. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time, allowing us to connect with our past even today.
