EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in French history, depicting Louis XI and Cardinal La Balue. Taken from the book "Petite histoire de France" by Jacques Bainville, this image showcases the artistic talent of Job, pseudonym for Onfray de Breville. The photograph is part of a private collection and was published in 1939. Louis XI, also known as Louis the Prudent or Louis the Universal Spider, ruled France from 1461 to 1483. He was notorious for his cunning political strategies and manipulation of power. In this drawing, he is depicted alongside Cardinal La Balue, who played a prominent role during Louis' reign. The cardinal's presence adds an intriguing layer to the composition as he was imprisoned by Louis XI for several years due to alleged treasonous activities. This historical event highlights the complex relationship between church and state during that period. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this moment with his camera lens, showcasing his expertise in photography. The monochromatic tones add depth and intensity to the image while emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are transported back to 15th-century France - a time marked by political intrigue, religious conflicts, and shifting alliances. It serves as a reminder of how history shapes our present reality and encourages us to delve deeper into our past for greater understanding.
