EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive suit of armor and seal belonging to Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great. As King of the Franks and Emperor of the Romans from 748 to 814, Charlemagne left an indelible mark on history. The image depicts him wearing a Frankish national costume infused with Roman elements. The helmet adorning his head is adorned with a crown, symbolizing his royal status. His quilted tunic, known as a tunica, is intricately decorated with shields, reflecting both protection and prestige. Completing his attire are trousers called feminalia and leggings wrapped with leather bands known as crura fasciolis. Handcolored lithography by Villain brings this historical figure to life in vivid detail after an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel from "Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France" (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture for use in French history). This artwork was published by Treuttel & Wurtz and Bossange in 1827. The print not only captures Charlemagne's regal appearance but also provides insight into ancient fashion trends. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France while offering glimpses into medieval times through illuminated manuscripts. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their collection without any commercial intentions. It invites viewers to delve into the fascinating world of traditional armor and appreciate its significance within historical contexts.
