EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as the author presents the renowned book "Ogier le Danois" to King Louis XII of France. The miniature, hand-coloured print by Antoine Verard showcases the grandeur and elegance of the medieval era. In this scene, we witness an enchanting display of Danish culture and chivalry. The author, dressed in traditional Danish attire, kneels before King Louis XII with utmost respect and admiration. With his head bowed down and hands extended forward, he presents the precious book to the king. King Louis XII, adorned in regal robes and wearing a crown symbolizing his authority, graciously accepts this literary gift. His retinue surrounds him in awe as they witness this historic exchange between two great minds. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as scholars from both Denmark and France gather around to observe this remarkable event. Fleur de lys motifs can be seen throughout the scene, representing French royalty and nobility. This hand-coloured print not only captures a momentous occasion but also serves as a testament to the power of knowledge transcending borders. It reminds us that literature has always been a bridge connecting different cultures and civilizations across time. Displayed proudly at Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, Italy, this exquisite artwork invites us to delve into history's pages while marveling at its artistic beauty.
