EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as King Alfonso II confirms the sales privileges to the merchants of Barcelona. The image is derived from the customs and recollections of Pere Albert, a 13th-14th-century vellum manuscript that offers us a glimpse into medieval society. In this scene, we witness an illuminated court setting where King Alfonso II, adorned in regal attire, graciously accepts homage from kneeling merchants. The monarch's presence exudes power and authority while the merchants demonstrate their loyalty and submission by humbly kneeling before him. The use of parchment adds to the authenticity and historical value of this artwork. Its delicate texture enhances our connection with the past, reminding us of how precious these ancient manuscripts are. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an important event that shaped Barcelona's commercial landscape. It serves as a testament to the significance placed on trade during this period and highlights the role played by monarchs in granting privileges to support economic growth. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every detail of this remarkable piece, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical importance. This print is not only visually stunning but also serves as a valuable educational resource for those interested in medieval society and courtly traditions.
