EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history, as Saint Valery appears to King Hugues Capet. The miniature is taken from "Les grandes chronicles de France" by Jean Fouquet, a renowned artist of the 15th century in Paris. In this scene, we witness the mystical encounter between the saint and the king. As Hugues Capet rests on his regal bed, his eyes closed in slumber, Saint Valery materializes before him. Bathed in ethereal light, she emanates an aura of divine grace and wisdom. The composition is beautifully illuminated with intricate details that capture the essence of medieval artistry. The lily flower symbolizes purity and spirituality while adorning the background with its delicate presence. This image transports us back to a time when faith held great significance for kings and their subjects alike. It reminds us of the power of belief and how it can manifest itself even in our dreams. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of Jean Fouquet's exceptional talent for capturing historical moments with unparalleled finesse. This print serves as a testament to his artistic legacy and invites us to delve into the rich tapestry of French history. Through this visual masterpiece, we are invited to contemplate not only the meeting between Saint Valery and King Hugues Capet but also our own connection to spirituality and higher realms beyond our earthly existence.
