EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving captures a pivotal moment in history - the end of the Carolingian dynasty in 988. The scene depicts the arrest of Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine, by Hugues Capet and his army. Created by Jean Michel Moreau le Jeune in the 18th century, this print brings to life a significant event that shaped French history. In this dramatic portrayal, fear and violence permeate the atmosphere as Charles is apprehended. The artist skillfully conveys anguish and anxiety on the faces of those present, reflecting the uncertainty that accompanied such political upheavals during medieval times. Hugues Capet's rise to power marked a turning point for France. His actions not only led to the fall of Charles but also paved the way for his own ascension as King Hugues I Capet. This event symbolizes a shift in dynastic rule and sets into motion centuries of monarchy under different ruling families. The intricate details captured by Moreau highlight both historical accuracy and artistic finesse. Through delicate lines and shading techniques, he creates depth and dimension within each figure, enhancing their emotional expressions. This engraving serves as an important reminder of how political ambitions can shape nations' destinies while showcasing Moreau's talent as an engraver capturing historical moments with precision and artistry.
