EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a momentous event in medieval history - "The coronation of Philippe II Auguste in the presence of Henry II of England". Created after 1380, this masterpiece is an anonymous work from the renowned Chroniques de France ou de St Denis. Held within a private collection, it offers us a glimpse into the grandeur and significance of this occasion. The image depicts two powerful monarchs, Philippe II Auguste and Henry II of England, surrounded by their entourages during the coronation ceremony. The illuminated manuscript beautifully captures every intricate detail with watercolor on parchment. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into medieval art and book culture. The historical context behind this scene is equally fascinating. It takes us back to the Middle Ages when crusades were prevalent, and tensions between Christians and Saracens ran high. The Third Crusade had just concluded, making this coronation all the more significant for both rulers. As we delve deeper into this remarkable piece, we are reminded of Byzantine-Arab wars and the Kings' Crusade that shaped European history during that era. Through its exquisite craftsmanship and rich symbolism, this illuminated art transports us to a time where power struggles intertwined with religious fervor. Immerse yourself in history with this extraordinary print capturing one pivotal moment amidst countless chapters in our past – an artistic testament to an age defined by ambition, conflict, faith, and royalty.
