EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print takes us back to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the historical visit of Charlemagne to Rome. The miniature from Ogier le Danois, printed by A. Verard in Paris in 1499, beautifully captures this significant moment in time. Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was not only the King of the Franks but also held the prestigious title of Holy Roman Emperor from 800 onwards. This image showcases his grandeur and power as he arrives on horseback at Rome. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of color brings life to this enchanting scene. The rider exudes confidence and authority while astride his majestic steed. The artist skillfully portrays both strength and elegance in their depiction of Charlemagne's regal presence. As we gaze upon this masterpiece housed in Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin, Italy, we are transported back centuries ago when such visits were monumental events that shaped history. It serves as a reminder of Charlemagne's influence during his reign and his impact on European politics and culture. This hand-coloured print is not just an artwork; it is a window into an era long gone yet still celebrated today for its rich heritage and legacy. Its preservation allows us to appreciate the artistry involved while providing valuable insights into one of history's most influential figures - Charlemagne.
