EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Coronation of Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony, and his wife Matilda. The ceremony, filled with regal splendor and religious significance, took place in the 12th century. In this illuminated manuscript from the Gospel of Henry the Lion, we see Christ, Angels, and Saints observing from above as the couple kneels before them. Henry (1129-1195), a powerful figure in medieval Germany, married Matilda in 1168. She was the daughter of Henry II of England and brought together two influential dynasties through their union. The image showcases their devotion to Christianity as they receive blessings for their marriage. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to every detail - from Henry's majestic crown to Matilda's elegant attire. It is a testament to both German and English heritage depicted within this masterpiece. As we admire this print by an unknown creator preserved through time, it transports us back to an era where royalty held immense power and religion played a central role in society. This photograph allows us to witness a significant event that shaped history while appreciating its artistic beauty
