EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Robert von Spalart in 1810, offers a glimpse into the rich architectural heritage of the Franks during the Merovingian period. The central focus of the image is the tomb of King Dagobert I, located within the Basilica of St. Denis near Paris. The inscription on the tomb, written in Latin, reads "Hic iacet Dagobertus Magnus," translating to "Here lies Dagobert the Great." King Dagobert I (609-639 AD) was the fifth Merovingian king of the Franks, ruling from 629 to 639. He is depicted in the engraving wearing the regal attire of the Frankish monarchs, complete with a crown and a long, flowing robe. The architectural elements surrounding the tomb are equally noteworthy. The Frankish pillars and arch, with their intricate carvings and decorative motifs, reflect the artistic and cultural influences of the time. The Frankish church in the background further emphasizes the significance of the architectural achievements during the Merovingian period. The church, with its pointed arches and tall spires, showcases the early development of the Gothic architectural style. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a visually stunning representation of the Frankish architectural legacy. This engraving, taken from Robert von Spalart's "Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages," provides a valuable insight into the artistic and historical significance of the Franks during the Merovingian period. The intricate details of the architecture, the regal attire of King Dagobert I, and the overall composition of the image make it a must-see for anyone interested in European history and art.
