EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking handcoloured lithograph, Jehan Pastorel, the esteemed president of the Parlement de Paris and trusted advisor to the regency during the minority of King Charles VI, is depicted in regal attire. The image, created by Leopold Massard after a contemporary miniature from Paul Lacroix's "Costumes Historiques de la France," offers a captivating glimpse into the grandeur and intrigue of the French court during the late Middle Ages. Jehan Pastorel (1328-1405) played a pivotal role in the governance of France during the tumultuous reign of King Charles VI, who suffered from bouts of mental instability. Pastorel's expertise and wisdom were sought after by the regents, including Isabeau of Bavaria and the Duke of Orléans, to maintain order and stability in the realm. The president of the Parlement de Paris was a powerful figure, responsible for the administration of justice and the enforcement of royal decrees. Pastorel's imposing presence and unwavering commitment to the rule of law earned him the respect and admiration of his contemporaries. In the lithograph, Pastorel is shown wearing the distinctive robes and headdress of a high-ranking French official. The richly coloured garments, adorned with intricate patterns and emblems, reflect the opulence and grandeur of the French court. The president's expression is serious and resolute, conveying the gravity of his position and the importance of the duties he carried out. This image offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to glimpse the world of medieval French politics and the influential figures who shaped its course. The meticulously crafted details of the lithograph, from the intricate textures of the fabric to the expressive portrayal of Pastorel, bring the history to life and transport us back to an era of intrigue, power, and splendour.
