EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures King Charles VI of France, a complex and enigmatic figure from the 14th century. Known as both "The Beloved" and "The Mad," he ruled during a tumultuous time in French history.
Seated on his ornate throne, King Charles VI appears regal and dignified, yet there is a hint of madness in his eyes. His reign was marked by periods of mental instability, leading to erratic behavior that earned him the nickname "Charles the Mad." Despite this, he was also beloved by many for his kindness and generosity towards his subjects.
The detailed depiction of the king's attire and surroundings provides a glimpse into the opulence of medieval royal life. The intricate patterns on his robe and the elaborate carvings on his throne speak to the wealth and power that he wielded.
Published in Paris in 1873 as part of Les Artes Au Moyen Age, this image offers a window into a fascinating period of history. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold great authority can be plagued by inner turmoil.
King Charles VI's legacy is one of contradictions - revered for his compassion yet remembered for his descent into madness. This print immortalizes him in all his complexity, inviting viewers to ponder the mysteries surrounding this enigmatic monarch.
