EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Charlemagne, the Christian Emperor and King of Franks, surrounded by his loyal knights known as paladins. Created on vellum by an anonymous French School artist in the 15th century, this illuminated manuscript from Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, Italy is a true masterpiece. The image depicts Charlemagne mounted on his majestic horse, adorned with a stunning caparison featuring the iconic fleur de lys symbol. The knightly retinue surrounding him exudes strength and chivalry as they stand ready to defend their emperor. Charlemagne's reign from 741 to 814 was marked by significant achievements and contributions to medieval Europe. His chronicles of France are renowned for preserving historical events and shaping European culture. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every stroke captures the essence of these noble warriors and their steeds. The horses themselves are beautifully depicted, showcasing their grace and power as farm animals turned into magnificent creatures fit for battle. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the grandeur of Charlemagne's court. It serves as a reminder of an era when honor, loyalty, and bravery were held in high regard - qualities that still resonate today.
