EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "King Charibert (521-67) in Council with Magistrates" takes us back to a significant moment in history. This engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century and published around 1840, showcases an important scene from Histoire de France by Colart. In this image, we witness King Charibert I of the Franks engaging in council with magistrates. As the eldest son of Chlotar I and Ingund, he inherited his father's kingdom after his death in 561. His portion included the old kingdom of Childebert I, which had Paris as its capital. Despite being known for his eloquence and legal knowledge, King Charibert was also notorious for leading a loose lifestyle. This ultimately led to him dying excommunicated from the church. The artist skillfully captures this historical event through intricate details and expressive portraiture. The regal throne upon which King Charibert sits symbolizes his authority while surrounded by male figures representing various magistrates and court officials. This remarkable artwork not only highlights an influential figure from early Christian times but also provides insight into Frankish culture during the Merovingian period. It serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical documentation that can be appreciated by art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
