EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of divine transcendence as Saint Louis of France is received into heaven by Christ and two angels. Painted by Charles-Louis Simonneau in the 17th century, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the essence of Christian spirituality. In this scene, we witness King Louis IX ascending to his eternal reward, surrounded by billowing clouds that symbolize the heavenly realm. Christ himself stands at the center, radiating compassion and grace as he welcomes the saintly king into his presence. Two angels flank him, offering Saint Louis the crown of France—a testament to his virtuous reign on earth. The intricate details in this engraving bring each figure to life: from Saint Louis' serene expression to Christ's gentle touch on his shoulder. The artist's meticulous craftsmanship shines through every stroke, creating a sense of awe and reverence that transcends time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork not only celebrates French heritage but also serves as a powerful reminder of faith's ability to inspire greatness. It invites viewers to contemplate their own spiritual journey and reflect on the legacy left behind by those who have dedicated their lives to serving others. Charles-Louis Simonneau's portrayal of Saint Louis' ascension is an enduring testament to both artistic skill and religious devotion—an image that continues to captivate hearts centuries after its creation.
