EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "La Saint-Charlemagne, illustration for Le Monde Illustre" captures the essence of a traditional French school festival honoring Emperor Charlemagne. This vibrant image, created by Jules Pelcoq in the 19th century, showcases the festive atmosphere and cultural significance of this annual celebration. In France, schools commemorate Charlemagne as the patron saint of education on January 28th each year. The holiday is marked by a day off from classes and a joyous feast shared among students and teachers alike. King Louis XI established the Saint-Charlemagne in 1479, but it wasn't until the 17th century that it gained popularity as an annual event. Although Paschal III canonized Charlemagne in 1165, his sainthood remains unrecognized by the Catholic Church due to Paschal's status as an antipope. Nevertheless, this has not diminished the enthusiasm with which schools across France celebrate their revered emperor. Pelcoq's lithograph beautifully depicts scenes from this cherished tradition – children dressed in period costumes engaging in various activities such as dancing and feasting. The attention to detail brings alive both historical elements and contemporary festivities surrounding La Saint-Charlemagne. This artwork serves as a reminder of how culture intertwines with education while paying homage to one of France's most influential figures. It encapsulates the spirit of unity and reverence that permeates through generations during this special occasion.
