EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the Tournament for the coronation of Louis II d'Anjou near Calais in 1389. The image transports us back to the 14th century, immersing us in a world of chivalry, warfare, and spectacle. Louis II of Anjou, crowned King of Naples by Antipope Clement VII, is depicted as a valiant knight on horseback. Clad in shining armor and wielding his lance with determination, he charges forward amidst a flurry of banners and flags fluttering in the wind. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as spectators gather around tents to witness this thrilling jousting competition. The print not only showcases the grandeur and pageantry associated with medieval tournaments but also hints at the political turmoil that defined Louis II's reign. Battling against Ladislas for control over Naples became his life's mission, making this tournament an important symbol of power and legitimacy. Through its intricate details and masterful engraving technique, this print offers a glimpse into France's rich history during the Middle Ages. It serves as a reminder of how sporting events were intertwined with politics and warfare during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles collection published between 1882-1884, we are transported back to an age where honor was won through skill on horseback and knights fought for glory on behalf of their kings.
