EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of medieval history in Flanders, Belgium. The image depicts a significant moment in the 14th century as the Deputies of the Ghent Burghers humbly beg for pardon from King Louis II for their audacious revolt against him in 1397. Based on a delicate miniature from a book by Froissart, this vertical sketch beautifully captures the essence of that historical event. The intricate details and precise engravings transport us to a time when power struggles were settled through diplomacy and negotiation. The scene showcases fourteenth-century Belgian society at its core, with burghers representing their city-state Ghent (also known as Gand) seeking forgiveness from their sovereign ruler. It serves as a reminder of how even during turbulent times, respect for authority remained paramount. Ken Welsh's masterful interpretation brings life to these historical illustrations, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this pivotal moment between king and subjects. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the complexities of political dynamics during the Middle Ages – where loyalty could be tested but ultimately restored through acts of contrition. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is an invitation to delve into centuries-old narratives that shaped our world today.
