EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical moment of "The Marriage of Louis II the Stammerer and Adelaide of Frioul" from the Grandes Chroniques de France. The image, created by a French School artist in the 14th century, depicts a significant union between two royal figures. Louis II, known as "the Stammerer" is portrayed as physically weak but nevertheless assumes his role as king after his father's passing. Unfortunately, his reign lasts only two years before his untimely death. In this illuminating manuscript scene, we witness him joining hands with Adelaide of Frioul, Queen of Aquitaine. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this medieval wedding ceremony. The couple stands beneath a majestic crown symbolizing their royal status while surrounded by an aura of ritualistic splendor. This miniature artwork captures not only their union but also highlights the importance placed on marriage during that era. Adelaide Judith of Paris adds another layer to this narrative; her presence signifies alliances formed through strategic marriages within Carolingian dynasties. Through this visual masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history where love and power intertwine. Preserved at Bibliotheque Municipale in Castres, France, this vellum manuscript continues to inspire awe and admiration for its artistic brilliance centuries later. As we gaze upon it today, let us appreciate the beauty and significance behind every stroke that immortalizes such grandeur from our past.
