EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "King Charles VII of France, the Victorious (1403-1461): A Monarch's Triumph in Historical Art" King Charles VII, also known as Charles the Victorious or Le Victorieux, ruled France from 1422 until his death in 1461. This image is a handcoloured lithograph, created by Leopold Massard after a miniature in the manuscript "Chroniques de Monstrelet," which is part of the extensive collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Bibliophile Jacob, published in Paris in 1852 by Administration de Librairie. In the portrait, Charles VII is depicted in a solemn yet resolute pose, seated on a grand golden chair. The king wears a black robe, symbolizing mourning for his late father, King Charles VI, and the ongoing Hundred Years' War between France and England. The sombre attire contrasts with the richness of the golden throne, emphasizing the monarch's determination and strength in the face of adversity. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the delicate folds of the king's robe to the ornate decorations on the chair, highlight the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. The use of vibrant colours in the handcolouring process adds depth and dimension to the image, enhancing the regal presence of King Charles VII. As a victorious monarch, Charles VII led France through critical periods, including the end of the Hundred Years' War and the beginning of the Renaissance. This portrait is a testament to his unwavering resolve and the enduring legacy of the French monarchy during the Middle Ages. This evocative image is not only a historical document but also an exquisite work of art that transports us back to a time of triumph and transformation in French history. The intricacies of the lithograph, combined with the rich historical context, make it a valuable addition to any collection of European art or historical records.
