EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a detailed section of the painting "The children of Jean I Jouvenel des Ursins and his wife, Michelle de Vitry" by the French School in the 15th century. The original artwork, measuring an impressive 165 x 350 cm, can be found at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Commissioned by their eldest son, Jean II Jouvenel des Ursins, who is depicted on the left side of the picture, this piece was intended for the family chapel of St. Remy in Notre-Dame Cathedral. Jean I Jouvenel des Ursins held prestigious positions such as Prevot (Provost) of the merchants of Paris and president of various Parliaments during his lifetime. In this detail from the larger painting, we see a group portrait featuring both sons and daughters kneeling together with their parents in prayer. The scene exudes devotion and piety as they hold bibles and engage in deep religious contemplation. The intricate costumes worn by each family member reflect their social status and highlight their affiliation with important institutions like the Church. Notably, one figure stands out as a bishop - representing Jean II's role as Bishop of Laon. This remarkable work offers us a glimpse into medieval family life while also showcasing elements such as patronage, devotion to religion, and gender dynamics within society. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance that continues to captivate viewers today.
