EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, dressed in somber black attire as a symbol of mourning for his predecessor Philip the Good. Created during the mid-15th century by an anonymous artist, this exquisite piece can be found in the esteemed collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France. The image transports us back to a significant era in history known as the Middle Ages. Charles I, also referred to as Charles the Rash or Reckless due to his impulsive nature, was a prominent figure within medieval Europe. His powerful presence is beautifully captured through this illuminated manuscript. Gouache on parchment brings depth and vibrancy to every intricate detail depicted in this miniature portrait. The fine artistry and delicate brushwork exemplify early Netherlandish art at its finest. Charles's knighthood is evident from his regal appearance and dignified stance. This illustrious artwork not only serves as a visual representation of Charles but also provides insight into the political landscape of Flanders during that time. Philip III, commonly known as Philip the Good and one of Burgundy's most influential rulers, is honored through Charles's mourning attire. Through this poignant portrayal, we are reminded of their close relationship and succession within the House of Valois-Burgundy. This mesmerizing photograph print offers an opportunity to delve into medieval history while appreciating both its artistic value and historical significance.
