EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Coronation of Charles V in c1365. The image, taken from an illuminated manuscript in the British Museum, showcases the grandeur and significance of this royal event. In the picture, we see King Charles V (1337-1380) being warmly greeted by an archbishop at the magnificent Cathedral of Reims. The Gothic architecture of the cathedral adds to the solemnity and splendor of this religious ceremony. As Charles stands before his subjects and clergy, he exudes regal authority and piety. The scene is filled with vibrant colors that bring life to every detail - from the richly adorned vestments worn by both men to the intricate designs on the walls and stained glass windows behind them. This visual feast transports us back to 14th century France, immersing us in its medieval charm. Charles V was known as "Charles le Sage" or "Charles the Wise" a monarch deeply committed to his Christian faith and country. His coronation symbolized not only his ascent to power but also his dedication as a ruler chosen by divine right. This remarkable print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history, religion, and monarchy. It reminds us of how art can preserve moments that shaped nations and defined eras long gone by.
