EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts Louis V, also known as "Le Faineant" the 35th king of France. He ascended to the throne in 986 and tragically passed away just a year later in 987, marking the end of the Carolingian dynasty. The artwork is part of a popular series by Pellerin of Epinal called Galerie Des Rois De France. Louis V's reign was marked by his reputation for being weak-willed and easily manipulated, earning him the nickname "Le Faineant" or "The Do-Nothing". Despite this perception, his short-lived rule holds historical significance as it represented a turning point in French monarchy. The artist beautifully captures Louis V seated on his regal throne, adorned with royal garments befitting his status. The vibrant colours used in this engraving bring life to every intricate detail, showcasing the skill and artistry of French School from the 19th century. This print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into European history and explore one of its lesser-known monarchs. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly unremarkable reigns lies valuable insight into dynastic transitions and cultural shifts. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this artwork continues to captivate audiences with its rich historical context and artistic brilliance.
