EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the historic moment of the Coronation of Charlemagne in Rome on Christmas Day, 800 AD. In this significant event, Charlemagne, the King of the Franks and a prominent figure in European history, was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III in Old St Peter's Basilica. The image showcases the grandeur and solemnity of the occasion as Charlemagne kneels before Pope Leo III. The vibrant colors bring to life the rich tapestry adorning the altar and cathedral surroundings. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and awe as witnesses gather to witness this pivotal moment in Christian history. This photograph is part of an album called "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" (Pictures of German History), published by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Hamburg, Germany in 1936. It serves as a visual representation of one chapter within German history that holds great significance not only for Germany but also for Europe as a whole. The unknown creator has skillfully captured both historical accuracy and artistic beauty through their composition. This image allows us to reflect upon an era when religion played a central role in shaping political power structures across Europe. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back to that fateful day when Charlemagne's coronation forever altered the course of European history.
