EDITORS COMMENTS
King Louis XII of France (1462-1515) is depicted in this stunning hand-colored lithograph by Gautiere, based on an illustration by Alphonse Leroy from the portfolio "Historical Costumes of France" by Roger de Gaignières, published by the Administration de Librairie in Paris in 1852. Louis XII, born in 1462, ascended to the throne of France in 1498 following the death of his predecessor, Charles VIII. He is best known for his military campaigns, particularly his successful invasion of Italy, which expanded the French territories and brought the French monarchy to the pinnacle of European power. The image captures Louis XII in regal attire, wearing a richly decorated robe of ermine fur, a velvet mantle edged with ermine, and a jeweled crown adorned with pearls and precious stones. The king's expression is serious and resolute, reflecting his strong leadership and determination. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the delicate folds of the king's robes to the meticulously rendered jewels and embroidery, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The use of hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of historical art. This lithograph is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the French monarchy during the Renaissance period and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of King Louis XII and his court.
