EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble effigies of two influential French kings, Philippe VI de Valois and Jean II Le Bon. Crafted by the talented artist Andre Beauneveu around the year 1335, these funerary sculptures can be found in the grand Basilique Saint-Denis in France. The attention to detail is remarkable as every feature of these regal figures has been meticulously carved. The father and son duo are depicted lying peacefully on their tombs, adorned with majestic crowns that symbolize their royal lineage. A sense of power emanates from their serene expressions, capturing the essence of medieval monarchy. One cannot help but notice the presence of a magnificent lion at each king's side, representing strength and courage. These lions serve as loyal guardians even in death, emphasizing the importance placed on protecting and defending their kingdom. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in French history. It offers us a glimpse into an era when monarchs held immense authority and were revered by their subjects. Displayed within the sacred walls of Basilica Saint-Denis, these gisants stand as enduring testaments to the legacy left behind by Philippe VI de Valois and Jean II Le Bon. Their striking beauty serves as a reminder of past glory while also inviting contemplation about mortality and remembrance.
