EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the sacred coronation of Charlemagne, a significant event that took place in 800 by Pope Leo III. The illumination of this manuscript from the Middle Ages beautifully captures the momentous occasion, with intricate details and vibrant colors. Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was an influential figure in European history. As the King of the Franks and Lombards, he played a crucial role in shaping medieval Europe and establishing what would later become known as the Carolingian dynasty. In this image, we see Pope Leo III placing the crown on Charlemagne's head, symbolizing his divine right to rule as Emperor of Rome. The composition exudes grandeur and power, emphasizing Charlemagne's status as a king chosen by God. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but has skillfully captured every detail with precision and artistry. This photograph is part of an illuminated manuscript dating back to 1300-1349 held at Bibliotheque de Toulouse in France. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of history through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back to a time when kings were anointed by popes and empires were born. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers us a glimpse into one of Europe's most fascinating eras - where religion intertwined with politics to shape nations.
