EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was crowned by Pope Leo III at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome on December 25th, 800. The sacred coronation of Charlemagne marked a significant event in European history and symbolized the close relationship between Church and State during the Middle Ages. The illustration, created by Francois Zier in the early 20th century, beautifully depicts this monumental occasion. Charlemagne stands tall and regal, adorned with his crown as he receives the blessing from Pope Leo III. The intricate details of their garments and expressions add depth to this historical scene. Charlemagne's reign as King of the Franks and Lombards laid the foundation for what would become known as the Carolingian Empire. His efforts to unify Western Europe under one ruler brought about cultural revival and political stability during a time of great turmoil. This image not only showcases an important moment in European history but also highlights Stefano Bianchetti's skillful preservation of art through photography. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of Charlemagne's legacy as a powerful leader who left an indelible mark on medieval Europe.
