EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Bishop of Beauvais, or Eveque de Beauvais, proudly displaying his mitre and standard in the Ancient Equestrian Armorials of the Order of the Golden Fleece and Europe in the 15th century. The Bishop is dressed in full ecclesiastical regalia, with his mitre resting atop his head, signifying his high rank in the Catholic Church. The mitre, a traditional headdress worn by bishops, is adorned with intricate designs and crosses, reflecting the spiritual and temporal authority of the wearer. The Bishop holds a tall, ornate standard, which features the emblem of the Order of the Golden Fleece, an important and influential chivalric order founded by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy in 1430. The Order, represented by the fleece on the standard, symbolized the pursuit of excellence and the ideals of chivalry, including honor, loyalty, and courage. This image is taken from Loredan Larchey's Ancient Equestrian Armorials of the Order of the Golden Fleece and Europe in the 15th century, published in Paris in 1890. The work is based on an illustrated manuscript from the Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal, and showcases the rich history and symbolism of the Order and its members, including the Bishop of Beauvais, during this period. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the chromolithograph bring the image to life, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of the past.
