EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sceptre and coins of Emperor Charlemagne, a prominent figure in European history. Created by Villain in the 19th century, this handcoloured lithograph captures the magnificence of these artifacts from the 8th to 9th centuries. The gold sceptre is adorned with an array of precious gems including pearls, rubies, and sapphires. Its intricate design features a fleur de lys symbol and a figure representing the king himself. The accompanying coins are engraved with "Karolus Magus" emphasizing Charlemagne's significant role as ruler of the Franks. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of ancient manuscripts illuminated with vibrant colors, this image transports us back to medieval times. It offers us a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur associated with Charlemagne's reign. Part of Horace de Viel-Castel's Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture for use in French history), this artwork serves as both an educational resource and an aesthetic delight. Treuttel & Wurtz published it in collaboration with Bossange in 1827. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance while marveling at its artistic beauty. This print encapsulates not only fashion and costume but also provides insight into ancient history that continues to captivate our imagination today.
