EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical moment when Louis VII the Young, also known as Louis the Pious, repudiated his wife Alienor of Aquitaine in 1152. The engraving, created by Jean Michel Moreau le Jeune in the 18th century, beautifully captures this significant event in French history. Louis VII was a prominent figure during the Capetian dynasty and ruled from 1120 to 1180. This image portrays him as a powerful king who made a bold decision that would have far-reaching consequences. His repudiation of Alienor marked the end of their marriage and had political implications for both France and England. Alienor of Aquitaine, or Eleonore of Guyenne, was no ordinary queen either. She played an influential role not only as Louis' wife but also as Queen Consort of France before her divorce and later as Queen Consort of England through her second marriage to Henry II. The engraving itself is a testament to Moreau's artistic skill and attention to detail. It transports us back to medieval times with its intricate depiction of clothing styles and regal expressions on both Louis VII and Alienor's faces. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are reminded that even centuries-old prints can still evoke emotions and tell stories that resonate with us today.
