Almanach for 1639 - Louis XIII and Anne of Austria entrusting the Kingdom and the Heir Apparent to the Virgin, 1638
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white etching by Abraham Bosse transports us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into French royalty. In this intricate artwork titled "Almanach for 1639" we witness an intimate moment as King Louis XIII and Queen Anne of Austria place their trust in the hands of the Virgin Mary. The scene unfolds with delicate amorini cherubs surrounding them, symbolizing divine protection. The king, dressed regally in his ornate attire, holds a fiddle while engaging with a musician playing a stringed instrument. This musical element adds depth to the composition, evoking harmony within both art and politics. Queen Anne stands gracefully beside her husband, radiating elegance in her royal garments. Together they present their heir apparent, Prince Louis Dieudonné (future King Louis XIV), to be blessed by the Virgin Mary. This act signifies their commitment to safeguarding France's future through divine intervention. Bosse's attention to detail is remarkable; every line meticulously etched onto paper brings life to each figure portrayed. The artist masterfully captures not only physical resemblance but also emotional depth within his subjects. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece preserved at Heritage Images Museum, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an era where monarchy intertwined with faith and artistic expression flourished. It serves as a testament to France's rich heritage and reminds us of its enduring legacy throughout history.
