EDITORS COMMENTS
King Charles VI of France, also known as "Bien-Aime" or "Beloved," reigning from 1380 to 1422, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard. The image, based on a fresco in the Carmelite cloisters in Toulouse, captures the king on horseback, clad in full suit of armor, with his coat of arms prominently displayed before him. The regal figure gazes intently at the Madonna and Child, a symbol of divine protection and guidance, holding a scepter in his right hand and a orb in his left. Charles VI was a significant monarch in French history, known for his mental instability, which led to bouts of madness that hindered his ability to rule effectively. Despite these challenges, he is remembered for his efforts to maintain peace and stability within his kingdom, as well as for his patronage of the arts and architecture. The intricate details of the king's armor, from the ornate helm to the meticulously crafted plates, are beautifully rendered in this lithograph, showcasing the artistry of Leopold Massard and the high-quality production of Le Bibliophile Jacob's "Historical Costumes of France." The delicate shading and vibrant colors bring the image to life, transporting the viewer back to the medieval court of France and offering a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the era.
