EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the powerful and esteemed figure of Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great. As King of the Franks and Emperor of the Romans from 748 to 814, his reign marked a significant period in history. The artist Villain beautifully captures Charlemagne's regal presence, depicting him adorned with a crown, sword, and orb - symbols of his authority and leadership. Dressed in an impressive suit of armor with a chlamys draped over it, Charlemagne exudes strength and nobility. His tunic is intricately detailed, showcasing the attention to fashion during this medieval era. The addition of spurs further emphasizes his role as a warrior king. This illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel was part of his renowned Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture to be used in the history of France). Published in 1827 by Treuttel & Wurtz Bossange, it offers us a glimpse into ancient French history. Charlemagne's legacy extends beyond his military conquests; he played a crucial role in shaping Europe politically and culturally during this time. As Holy Roman Emperor in the eighth century, he left an indelible mark on European civilization that continues to resonate today. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact—a testament to Charlemagne's enduring influence on French culture and medieval society at large.
