EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print from the late 19th century depicts a significant moment in history - King Dagobert I, the Merovingian king of the Franks, laying the first stone of the Basilica of Saint Denis. The scene is filled with symbolism and religious fervor as Saint Eloi stands by his side, witnessing this monumental event. King Dagobert I reigned from 629 to 634 and played a crucial role in shaping the destiny of France. Here, he is portrayed as both holy and human, embodying his dual roles as a ruler and a devout Christian. With an arm raised high, he commands attention while holding a buckler symbolizing protection for his people. The construction site behind him represents progress and ambition. This basilica would go on to become one of France's most important religious sites, housing numerous royal burials throughout history. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. From the intricate architecture of the building to every fold in Dagobert's regal attire, each element tells its own story. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary chapter in French history unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that even great kings like Dagobert were not only warriors but also patrons of faith and culture who left an indelible mark on their nation.
