EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Louis X (1289-1316), also known as "Le Hutin" the Mischievous, who was a member of the Capetian dynasty. Renowned for his progressive actions, Louis X emancipated all the serfs in his kingdom and compelled them to redeem their freedom. This historic moment is beautifully captured in an engraving from 1825 found in "Histoire de France represented by synoptic paintings dediee to the children of France and for their education". The steel engraving, skillfully crafted by Ambroise Tardieu, transports us back to this significant event. Louis X's decision to liberate the serfs demonstrates his commitment to social justice and equality. It symbolizes a transformative era when feudalism began to crumble under the weight of compassion and progress. Through this image, we witness an important milestone in French history that shaped society's future trajectory. The intricate details of Tardieu's engraving bring life to this historical scene, allowing us to appreciate every nuance of emotion on Louis X's face as he grants freedom to those who were once bound by servitude. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also acts as a powerful educational tool for generations past and present. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of Louis X's legacy as a ruler who dared challenge societal norms and championed human rights. His actions continue to inspire us today, reminding us that even mischievous hearts can harbor great compassion for those less fortunate.
