EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of grandeur and religious devotion in the 17th century. The focal point is the magnificent altar of the holy sacrament, adorned with intricate tapestries inspired by Raphael's masterpieces. On the left side, we witness the sacred sacrament beneath a majestic canopy, being reverently carried in procession towards a large arched structure. Leading this solemn march are none other than Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, and his queen Anne of Austria. Dressed in regal attire, they symbolize both their royal status and deep faith. As they proceed forward, spectators on either side kneel before the awe-inspiring tapestries that depict scenes from biblical narratives. The architectural splendor surrounding them adds to the sense of reverence and majesty. This outdoor location showcases an impressive building that serves as a backdrop for this religious pageantry. It reminds us of how religion played an integral role in shaping not only people's spiritual lives but also their cultural identity during this period. Stefano della Bella's etching skillfully captures every detail of this historical scene while preserving its timeless beauty. This print from The Metropolitan Museum of Art allows us to delve into history and immerse ourselves in an era where faith intertwined with monarchy, artistry met spirituality, and pageantry merged with devotion.
