EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King Rene and his musical court in the 15th century. The image transports us back to a time of grandeur and elegance, where music played an integral role in the royal courts. King Rene (1409-1480), also known as Duke of Anjou and Lorraine, as well as King of Naples, Jerusalem, and Sicily, is depicted surrounded by his talented musicians. The scene exudes a harmonious atmosphere with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The exquisite medieval fashion worn by both men and women adds to the visual splendor. Each musician holds a different musical instrument, showcasing their expertise in creating melodious tunes that surely delighted the king's ears. What makes this print even more intriguing is the writing on the back wall referring to an Arab/European interface. This suggests a cultural exchange between these two worlds during that period. The image itself originates from "King Rene's Breviary" a remarkable 15th-century manuscript created by Rene of Anjou himself. It has been beautifully transformed into this chromolithograph print which allows us to appreciate its artistic value even today. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history captured by an unknown creator, we are reminded of the importance of music in society throughout centuries past. It serves as a testament to King Rene's appreciation for artistry and his desire to create an enchanting ambiance within his court.
