EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, the King of France from 1215 to 1270. The image, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," showcases the monarch in regal attire, seated in a courtyard setting with a chapel in the background. Louis IX is dressed in the fashion of the medieval period, wearing a long, flowing robe or simar, which is secured at the waist with a gold chain. He is also adorned with a medallion and the insignia of the Order of the Cross of the Temple (Ordre de l'Os de Gueules) and the Order of the Broom (Ordre du Baguette) on his chest. The king wears a tall, conical bonnet, a doublet, and a mantle draped over his shoulders. In his right hand, Louis IX holds a baton, a symbol of his royal authority, and in his left hand, he cradles a hawk, a common pastime for medieval nobility. The print also includes a pod or footstool, adding to the regal and grandeur of the scene. Louis IX was a significant figure in French and European history, known for his piety, military conquests, and efforts to establish the Capetian dynasty. He was canonized as a saint in 1297, and his legacy continues to be celebrated in France and beyond. This beautiful and intricately detailed print offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the medieval period and the life of one of its most revered rulers.
