12th Lothair Polychrome Reims Romanesque Masculine Persons Remi Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 12th century polychrome sculpture depicts Lothair (941-986), the King of France from 954 to 986. The intricately carved image, now housed in the Saint Remi Museum in Reims, France, showcases the regal presence and masculine features of the king. The vertical composition of the sculpture, with Lothair depicted in an upright position, further emphasizes his power and authority. The Romanesque art style, characterized by its bold, decorative elements, is evident in the detailed clothing and ornate patterns adorning the king's robe. The use of vibrant colors in the polychrome technique adds a striking contrast to the rough texture of the rock on which the sculpture is carved. Lothair was the eldest son of King Louis IV and Gerberga of Saxony. He ascended to the throne at the young age of 13, following his father's death. During his reign, Lothair faced numerous challenges, including rebellions and conflicts with neighboring kingdoms. Despite these difficulties, he managed to maintain the stability of the kingdom and was known for his piety and patronage of the Church. This sculpture serves as a testament to the artistic achievements of the Romanesque period and offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of an important figure in French history. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring Lothair to life, allowing us to connect with the past and appreciate the rich cultural heritage of France.
