EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 14th century, we see Pierre Tosant and Martin Lancelot presenting potions to King Charles VI in a desperate attempt to heal him of his madness. The scene is filled with tension as the two hermits of Saint Augustine offer their remedies to the troubled king, who sits on his throne looking both regal and vulnerable.
King Charles VI, also known as Charles the Mad or Charles the Beloved, ruled France during a tumultuous period in history. His struggles with mental illness were well-documented, and it was believed that only through miraculous healing could he be saved from his affliction.
The intricate details of this engraving bring to life a moment of desperation and hope as these men try to cure their beloved monarch. The colors are rich and vibrant, adding depth to the historical significance of this event.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where medicine was still shrouded in mystery and superstition. It serves as a reminder of our own mortality and vulnerability, even for those who sit upon thrones.
This print is not just a piece of art but a window into the past, allowing us to witness moments that shaped history and defined generations.
