EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Bishop of Langres, or Eveque de Langres, adorned in his full regalia, including the distinctive mitre, as he represents the diocese in the ancient equestrian armorials of the Order of the Golden Fleece and Europe in the 15th century. The Bishop of Langres was an esteemed member of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a prestigious and influential chivalric order founded by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in 1430. The Order, whose members included European nobility and clergy, was renowned for its grand ceremonies and symbolized unity and friendship among its members. The Bishop of Langres is shown wearing the traditional robes of his ecclesiastical office, with the mitre, a triangular headdress adorned with crosses and other decorations, resting on his head. The mitre symbolizes the Bishop's spiritual authority and is an essential part of his regalia. The intricate details of the Bishop's vestments, the rich colors, and the meticulous shading in this chromolithograph are a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of Loredan Larchey's Ancient Equestrian Armorials of the Order of the Golden Fleece and Europe in the 15th century. This beautiful print is a fascinating glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the European nobility and clergy during this period.
