EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 13th century, depicting a significant historical moment - St. Louis, King of France, crossing the sea to the Holy Land. Known as Saint Louis, this monarch was revered for his devout Christian faith and his role in leading crusades during the Middle Ages. The image showcases King Louis IX aboard a majestic ship sailing across the Mediterranean towards the Middle East. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line on his face reflects wisdom and determination. His halo symbolizes his saintly status while emphasizing his divine mission. Surrounded by fellow men who are likely oarsmen navigating through treacherous waters, King Louis stands tall with an oar in hand, demonstrating both leadership and courage. This portrayal captures not only a historic event but also highlights the importance of water transport during that era. The photograph is based on a stained glass window found in Paris' Basilica of Saint-Denis, showcasing its significance as an artistic representation of medieval times. Its monochrome composition adds depth and timelessness to this extraordinary scene. Preserved from Elizabeth O'Neill's book "The World's Story" published in London & Edinburgh around 1930, this print serves as a visual testament to history's enduring impact on our present-day understanding of religion, royalty, transportation methods, and cultural exchanges between nations.
