EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the marriage of Queen Melisande of Jerusalem and Fulk V of Anjou. The image is taken from the Histoire de la conquete of Jerusalem by William of Tyre, dating back to the 15th century. In this enchanting scene, we witness Queen Melisande and Fulk V exchanging vows within the solemnity of a grand church. Their hands are delicately clasped together, symbolizing their commitment to each other and their dynastic union. Surrounding them is an exquisite floral border that adds a touch of elegance to the occasion. The ceremony takes place before an audience that includes priests, monks, and clergy members adorned in traditional robes. The gothic architecture with its towering arches creates a majestic backdrop for this romantic event. Atop an altar stands a pillar where religious orders gather to bless the couple's union. As we delve into this mesmerizing print, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously captured by the French School artist responsible for its creation. From the intricate designs on their garments to the elaborate mitres worn by clergymen, no element has been overlooked. This print not only serves as a visual feast but also provides us with insights into medieval wedding customs and religious practices during that era. It reminds us how art can transport us back in time and allow us to appreciate historical moments through our own eyes.
