EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Etienne Henri De Blois, Count of Blois, also known as 'Le Sage' or 'The Wise' (1045-1102). Etienne was a significant figure in European history as the father of King Stephen of England. Born into the prominent Blois-Champagne dynasty, Etienne's long, flowing beard and ornate helmet adorned with the zodiac sign of Sagittarius reflect the elegance and power of the medieval nobility. Etienne's reign as Count of Blois was marked by his patronage of the arts and learning, earning him the nickname 'Le Sage.' He was a generous supporter of the Cluniac monks, who played a crucial role in the spread of Romanesque art and architecture throughout Europe. Etienne's court was a center of intellectual and artistic activity, attracting scholars, poets, and artists from across Europe. Despite his wisdom and patronage, Etienne's life was not without conflict. He was involved in several power struggles with his brothers and other nobles, and his alliance with the powerful Angevin family would have far-reaching consequences for the English throne. Etienne's most significant legacy, however, was the birth of his son, Stephen of Blois, who would go on to become King of England in 1135. Stephen's reign was marked by instability and civil war, but he is remembered for his efforts to strengthen the monarchy and assert English power in Europe. This evocative image of Etienne Henri De Blois, with his long beard, ornate helmet, and regal bearing, offers a glimpse into the world of medieval nobility and the complex political landscape of the time. The intricate details of his armor and the symbolism of the Sagittarius emblem on his helmet underscore the importance of chivalry and the role of astrology in medieval society.
