The Baptism of Clovis
1500 · National Gallery of Art, Washington
religiousThis was painted about a thousand years after Saint Rémy baptized the Frankish King Clovis, thereby converting him to Christianity. The unknown French artist has transferred the historic event from Reims to the interior of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, thus providing the earliest known record of the interior of the famous, still extant, building.
