EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print depicts the legendary figure of Charlemagne leading a fierce battle against the Saracens in Spain. The scene is taken from the Chroniques de France, printed by A. Verard in Paris in 1494, showcasing the exquisite artistry of the French School during the 15th century. Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was a Holy Roman Emperor who fought valiantly to liberate the church at Santiago from Saracen control. In this miniature, he stands at the forefront of his chivalric army, clad in impressive armor and wielding powerful weapons. His determination to defend Christianity is palpable as he confronts his enemies head-on. The intricately decorated border surrounding this print adds an additional layer of beauty and detail to this historical depiction. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess prevalent during that era. This image captures not only a momentous clash between two opposing forces but also embodies themes of bravery, honor, and sacrifice. It transports us back to a time when conflicts were settled on battlegrounds rather than through diplomatic negotiations. Through this hand-coloured print preserved by Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, Italy, we are granted insight into an important chapter of history where Charlemagne's military might played a crucial role in shaping Europe's future.
