This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Louis VII (c. 1120-1180), the Young King of France, taking the banner in St. Denis in 1147. Painted by Jean Baptiste Mauzaisse in 1840, this oil on canvas artwork measures 115x147 cm and is currently housed at the Château de Versailles in France. The scene portrays an array of notable figures from that era, including Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine and influential religious leaders such as Pope Eugenius III, St. Bernard of Clairvaux, and Suger Abbot of Saint-Denis.
