EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving from 1793 showcases Louis X, the Quarrelsome, a prominent figure in French history and a member of the esteemed Capetian dynasty. Born in 1289, he ascended to the throne as King of Navarre in 1305 before becoming King of France in 1314. Louis X's reign was marked by his assertive nature and his unwavering determination to protect his kingdom's interests. His nickname "the Quarrelsome" aptly reflects his confrontational approach towards both domestic and international affairs. In this exquisite print, we see Louis X portrayed with regal elegance, donning royal attire that symbolizes his authority and power. The fine details captured by the skilled engraver highlight every intricate feature of this influential monarch. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to be transported back to a time when royalty reigned supreme. The artist has masterfully depicted Louis X's commanding presence through subtle nuances such as facial expression and body language. This historical artifact serves as a testament to the rich heritage of France and its illustrious lineage of kings. It reminds us that even centuries later, their legacies continue to captivate our imagination and shape our understanding of medieval Europe.
