EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history - the baptism of Wittekind, the Westphalian chieftain who famously submitted to Charlemagne and converted to Christianity. The image depicts Wittekind's transformation from a fierce warrior to a devout Christian, symbolizing the merging of two cultures and belief systems.
The scene is filled with emotion as we witness Wittekind's solemn acceptance of his new faith, surrounded by onlookers who are no doubt amazed by this unexpected turn of events. The historical significance of this moment cannot be understated, as it marked a turning point in the relationship between Germanic tribes and the expanding Frankish Empire.
As Wittekind emerges from the waters of baptism, he is reborn not only as a Christian but also as Herzog von Sachsen - Duke of Saxony. His newfound title represents his integration into Charlemagne's realm and his commitment to peace and unity among his people.
Through this image, we are transported back to the year 785 when this extraordinary event took place. It serves as a reminder of the power of faith and forgiveness in overcoming differences and forging new alliances. Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured this historic moment for us to reflect upon and appreciate for generations to come.
