EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the marriage of King Louis XII of France and Mary Tudor, daughter of Henry VII of England. The year was 1514, and despite their vast age difference (Louis being 52 and Mary only 18), they joined together in matrimony on October 9th. However, tragedy struck less than three months later when Louis passed away. The image is an illustration from the 19th-century book "Le Moyen Age Et La Renaissance" edited by Paul Lacroix, with artistic direction by Ferdinand Sere. It is based on a tapestry from the 16th century that depicted this royal union. The print showcases a group portrait featuring King Louis XII, his young bride Mary Tudor, and other members of the court. In this scene frozen in time, we witness the regal splendor surrounding this momentous occasion. The elegant attire worn by all reflects their status as royalty while also showcasing the fashion trends of that era. This visual representation offers us a glimpse into both French and English history during the Renaissance period. Despite its monochrome nature, this photograph exudes an air of romance mixed with melancholy due to its historical context. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and celebration, life can be fleeting. Through this image's preservation over centuries, we are granted access to an intimate snapshot capturing one chapter in the complex tapestry of European monarchies.
