EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Louis I, Duke of Orleans: A Regal Figure from the Royal House of Valois" Louis I, Duke of Orleans, also known as Louis de Valois, was the second son of King Charles V of France, born in 1371. This exquisite handcoloured lithograph, created by Leopold Massard after a fresco in the Carmelite cloisters in Toulouse, offers a captivating glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the late 14th century. The Duke of Orleans is depicted in his regal attire, adorned with an intricately designed robe, a fur-lined mantle, and a jeweled coronet. The richness of the colors and the meticulous detailing in the lithograph serve to highlight the Duke's noble lineage and his position as a powerful figure in the French court. The Duke's expression is one of calm and composure, reflecting the wisdom and diplomacy that he is known for. Louis I was a patron of the arts and a key player in French politics during the reign of his brother, King Charles VI. He played a crucial role in the peace negotiations between France and England during the Hundred Years War, and his influence extended beyond the borders of his native France. The Duke of Orleans was also a devout man, and the Carmelite cloisters in Toulouse, where the original fresco was painted, held a special significance for him. The Carmelites were known for their strict observance of the Rule of St. Albert, and the Duke was a generous supporter of their order. This stunning handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Duke of Orleans, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Royal House of Valois.
