EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Fr 2646 f. 176 Bal des Ardents, Charles VI (1380-1422) being saved by the Duchess of Berry" takes us back to a remarkable event in history. The image captures a scene from Froissart's Chronicle in 1392, where chaos ensues during a grand ball. In this mesmerizing depiction, we witness the moment when Charles VI, the King of France at that time, finds himself in grave danger as Louis of Orleans sets fire to the dancers' costumes. Amidst the panic and fear that engulfs the room, it is none other than the courageous Duchess of Berry who comes to his rescue. The vibrant colors and intricate details on this vellum manuscript transport us directly into medieval times. We can almost feel the heat from the flames and hear gasps echoing through the hall as attendees scramble for safety. This historical artwork not only showcases an extraordinary incident but also provides insight into courtly life during that period. It reminds us of how even amidst opulence and celebration, danger could lurk just around the corner. As we gaze upon this masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded once again of humanity's resilience and our ability to find strength even in moments of chaos. This photograph print serves as a powerful reminder that heroes can emerge from unexpected places – like a duchess saving her king – leaving an indelible mark on history's canvas.
