EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print depicts the triumphant entry of Charles Martel, the Frankish mayor of the palace, into Paris in October 732 AD. The historic event marked the successful repelling of the Saracen army, led by Commander Abderrahman ibn Abdillah, at the Battle of Tours, also known as the Battle of Poitiers. The engagement took place near the city of Tours, in modern-day France, and is considered a turning point in European history. Charles Martel, a skilled military leader, had rallied the Frankish forces and managed to halt the Saracen advance towards the heart of Europe. The defeat of the Saracens was a significant victory for the Franks, as it prevented the Islamic invasion of Europe and preserved Christian rule in the region. The loss of their commander, Abderrahman ibn Abdillah, was a heavy blow to the Saracen forces, further weakening their position. The print captures the moment of Charles Martel's entry into Paris, where he is shown on horseback, surrounded by his victorious soldiers. The crowd, consisting of common people and nobles, welcomes him with jubilation, waving banners and flags. The historic event marked the beginning of the Carolingian dynasty and set the stage for the eventual emergence of the Holy Roman Empire. This print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past and transports us to a time when the fate of Europe hung in the balance. The Battle of Tours remains an important event in European history, and this print serves as a testament to the bravery and leadership of Charles Martel and the Franks in the face of a formidable enemy.
