EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as it depicts the legendary Charlemagne, also known as Carolus Magnus, directing the construction of Aix-la-Chapelle. The image is taken from an illuminated manuscript called "Recueil Sommaire des Chroniques Francaises" by Guillaume Cretin. In this 15th-century French artwork, we see Charlemagne overseeing the building process with great authority and determination. As the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Franks, he takes his role seriously, ensuring that every detail meets his high standards. Surrounded by builders and workers diligently carrying out their tasks, Charlemagne's presence commands respect. The architecture of Aix-la-Chapelle stands tall in its early stages, showcasing intricate brickwork and stonemasonry skillfully executed by these laborers under Charlemagne's watchful eye. The chapel being constructed will become a symbol of power and religious significance for centuries to come. This image not only highlights the manual labor involved in constructing such monumental structures but also emphasizes Charlemagne's visionary leadership. It serves as a testament to his commitment to both faith and empire-building. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this vellum print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone yet still influential today. Through this remarkable piece of artistry captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by one of history's most iconic figures
