EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Rene, Duc d'Anjou and Comte de Provence (1409-80) in a grand procession through the picturesque streets of Aix-en-Provence during the 15th century. The Duke, dressed in his regal attire, rides atop a magnificent horse, surrounded by his loyal courtiers. The procession exudes an air of opulence and grandeur, with ornately dressed nobles following closely behind, their banners and pennants fluttering in the breeze. Aix-en-Provence, a vibrant city in southern France, served as the capital of the County of Provence during this period. The Duke's presence in the city would have been a significant event, drawing the attention of the local populace and reinforcing his authority. The procession likely marked a momentous occasion, such as the granting of privileges or the passage of important legislation. The 15th century was a time of great change in France, with the country undergoing significant political and social transformations. The Duke of Anjou, as both the Duke of Anjou in France and the Count of Provence in southern France, held considerable power and influence. His presence in Aix-en-Provence underscores the complex web of alliances and power dynamics that characterized the French nobility during this period. This print, dating from circa 1460, offers a glimpse into the rich history of French nobility and the grandeur of the medieval court. The intricate details of the Duke's attire, the ornate decorations on the banners, and the expressions of the courtiers all contribute to a vivid and immersive portrayal of this important moment in history.
