Cavaliers Des Nuages

AKA >> Riders of the Clouds

H Carre Hermes Paris > Fall - Winter 1999/2000

In a flurry of brocade, mounted soldiers and women form a circle spun with gold and silk. The court of Francois I is making merry. The monarch is 23 and over six feet tall; he promotes the arts of the Renaissance, likes to entertain and be entertained and, above all, he adores the joys offered by the battlefield. Victory at Marignano transfigures him; defeat at Pavia is still far away. Til then, let the feast continue! May the riders turn, more brilliant than the stars.
