EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print from 1492 depicts "The division of the Frankish realm between the four sons of King Clovis I". Created by the French School in the 15th century, this miniature is part of the Chronicles of France and was printed by A. Verard in Paris. Intricately detailed, this print showcases a pivotal moment in history when Clovis I became the first king to unite all Frankish tribes under one ruler. The division of his realm among his four sons - Theuderic, Chlodomer, Childebert, and Clothar - marked a significant turning point for the Merovingian dynasty. The image features beautifully decorated borders that enhance its regal atmosphere. It transports us back to a time when monarchs held immense power and influence over their territories. Each brother is depicted with distinct characteristics that reflect their individual reigns as kings of Metz, Orleans, Paris, and Soissons. This early printing serves as an invaluable historical document showcasing not only artistic skill but also political dynamics within medieval Europe. Its presence in Turin's Biblioteca Nazionale speaks to its significance as a treasured piece within Italy's cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from centuries past, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by these rulers who shaped European history through their actions and divisions.
