EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to witness a shocking incident that occurred during the medieval era. The image depicts Louis IX, the King of France from 1214 to 1270, riding on his way to church in Paris. However, what makes this scene truly remarkable is the unexpected act of defiance by a student. In an audacious display of rebellion, the student pours a pot of urine over King Louis IX as he passes by. This brazen act challenges the authority and power held by royalty during those times. It serves as a reminder that even kings were not immune to acts of disrespect and dissent. The illustration itself is derived from a 15th-century miniature, adding historical significance and authenticity to this extraordinary moment captured within its intricate details. Published in London in 1878 by Paul Lacroix's book "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages" this image offers us a glimpse into both artistry and history. Through this thought-provoking photograph, we are transported back to an era where societal norms were questioned, even within religious contexts such as attending church services. It invites contemplation about how power dynamics have evolved throughout history while reminding us that no one is exempt from moments of humiliation or rebellion – not even mighty kings like Louis IX.
