EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Childeric II, King of the Franks" takes us back to the 7th century in France. The image depicts a significant historical event where Childeric II, the powerful monarch of the Frankish kingdom, orders the whipping of Lord Bodillon for daring to object to his tax increases. This scene showcases both the cruelty and authority that characterized this era. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke brings life to this piece. We can almost feel the tension in the air as Lord Bodillon stands before his king, bound and helpless while awaiting his punishment. Childeric II sits on his throne with an air of dominance and power, confidently issuing commands. The use of a whip as a means of punishment highlights not only Childeric II's ruthlessness but also reflects societal norms during this time period. It serves as a reminder that even those who held positions of power were not exempt from brutal acts against their subjects. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries into French history - witnessing firsthand how monarchy and royalty shaped society at its core. This artwork offers us a glimpse into an important moment in European history when kings ruled with absolute authority over their subjects. Overall, this engraving by Bridgeman Images captures both the brutality and grandeur associated with medieval monarchy - leaving us intrigued by its historical significance and artistic mastery.
