EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the Statue and Castle of King Rene in Angers, France, dating back to the late 19th century. The image, bathed in nostalgic hues, transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and historical significance. King Rene, also known as René II, was the Duke of Anjou and the Count of Maine from 1454 until his death in 1480. He is best known for his patronage of the arts and his ambitious building projects, including the Chateau d'Angers. The picture presents a picturesque view of the castle, with its imposing towers and fortified walls, standing proudly against the backdrop of the Loire River. The statue of King Rene, located in the castle courtyard, adds a regal touch to the scene. Dressed in medieval armor and holding a scepter, the statue embodies the power and majesty of the monarch. The photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, is a coloured photochrom print. This method of colouring photographs using a series of pigmented filters was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The result is a vivid and richly coloured image that brings the history of Angers to life. This photograph is not only a visual representation of the past but also a testament to the enduring beauty and historical significance of the Chateau d'Angers and the legacy of King Rene. The nostalgia it evokes invites us to reflect on the history of France and the lives of those who came before us.
