EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Coronation of Charlemagne" in exquisite detail. Created around 1460 by the talented artist Jean Fouquet, this miniature painting is a part of the Great Chronicles of Charlemagne housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The scene depicts the historic moment when Charles I, also known as Charles the Great or Charlemagne (742-814), was crowned Emperor by Pope Leo III in Saint Peter's Church in Rome. The manuscript captures this significant event on folio 89 v with remarkable precision and artistry. Fouquet's mastery is evident through his skillful use of color and illumination techniques that bring life to every figure present. The crowd gathered for this grand occasion fills the frame, showcasing a diverse group of individuals from different religious orders and walks of life. Their presence adds depth and authenticity to this historical representation. As one gazes upon this stunning artwork, they are transported back to a time when religion played a central role in society. The solemnity and reverence displayed by both clergy and laity alike highlight the importance placed on religious ceremonies during that era. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every intricate detail within this photograph, allowing viewers to appreciate Fouquet's artistic genius up close. This print serves as a reminder of an important chapter in history while celebrating the enduring power of art to capture moments that transcend time.
