EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "King Priam overseeing the rebuilding of Troy" transports us back to the late 15th century in France. The image is a reproduction from a manuscript that dates back to the time of King Louis XII, showcasing the rich history and artistry of this era. In this scene, we witness King Priam, a mythological figure from ancient Greece, supervising the reconstruction of Troy after its devastating fall. As an important character in Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, Priam symbolizes royalty and power. His presence here highlights his role as both a historical and legendary figure. The meticulous attention to detail in this artwork is evident through the depiction of stonemasons and sculptors diligently working on intricate carvings and sculptures. Their craftsmanship brings life to stone as they contribute to rebuilding one of history's most renowned cities. The illuminated manuscript adds depth and vibrancy to this composition while capturing the essence of medieval artistry during the Middle Ages. It serves as a testament to French applied arts and decoration during this period. Through this lithograph print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into an ancient world filled with mythology, religion, and historical significance. It reminds us of our connection to past civilizations while celebrating their achievements in architecture and artistic expression.
