EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in French history as Cybele, the ancient Phrygian goddess of fertility and nature, symbolically hands over the governance of the kingdom to young King Louis XIII. Standing by his side is his mother, Regent Mary of Medici, who had been ruling on his behalf since he ascended to the throne at a tender age.
The presence of Louis XIII's wife, Princess Anne of Austria, driving a winged chariot adds an element of mystique and power to the scene. The imagery suggests that she is guiding and protecting her husband as he takes on the responsibilities of kingship.
The intricate details in this engraving transport us back to 1610 when this symbolic transfer of power took place. The colors are rich and vibrant, bringing life to each figure depicted in this historical moment.
As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel the weight of history and tradition being passed down from one generation to another. It serves as a reminder of the complexities and intrigues that have shaped France's royal family throughout centuries.
Overall, this artwork is not just a visual representation but also a narrative that speaks volumes about politics, power dynamics, and familial relationships within European royalty during the 17th century.
