EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Philip IV, the Fair, a prominent figure from the Capetian dynasty and the king of France from 1285. The image, a copperplate engraving dating back to 1793, exudes an air of regality and power. Philip IV's reign was marked by significant events that shaped both French history and his own legacy. Notably, he exerted immense influence over Pope Clement V, compelling him to dissolve the renowned Knights Templar in 1314. This decisive action allowed Philip IV to appropriate their vast wealth and property for himself. The engraving beautifully captures Philip IV's commanding presence as he gazes into the distance with an expression that hints at his determination and ambition. His royal attire further emphasizes his status as a ruler of great importance. As a member of the Capetian dynasty, which played a pivotal role in shaping medieval France, Philip IV left an indelible mark on French politics and society during his time on the throne. This image serves as a visual testament to his authority and impact. Thanks to Universal Images Group (UIG), we have access to this remarkable historical artifact that allows us to glimpse into one of Europe's most intriguing periods – where kings clashed with popes and dynasties vied for supremacy.
