EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century chromolithograph print showcases Pepin the Short, King of the Franks from 751. Known as Pepin III, he was a significant figure in French history, being both the son of Charles Martel and the father of Charlemagne. With his regal crown atop his head and a formidable sword in hand, Pepin exudes power and authority. The artist has skillfully captured every detail of this iconic monarch's appearance. From his intricately designed armor to his vibrant cloak, every element speaks to his status as a ruler. The color palette chosen adds depth and richness to the portrait, emphasizing the grandeur associated with royalty. Pepin's fierce expression suggests that he is ready for battle; indeed, history tells us that he successfully drove out Saracens from France by capturing Narbonne in 759. This image serves as a reminder of not only Pepin's military triumphs but also his role in shaping Frankish history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork created by an anonymous creator, we are transported back in time to witness one of France's most influential kings at the height of his reign. It is through prints like these that we can appreciate and celebrate historical figures who have left an indelible mark on our world.
