The Young Charlemagne and his Mother Bertrade de Laon - A Glimpse into the Royal Family of the 8th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a beautiful illustration by Edouard Francois Zier, depicting an intimate moment between the young Charlemagne and his mother, Bertrade de Laon. Dating back to around 752, this artwork offers us a rare glimpse into the lives of one of history's most influential figures. Bertrade de Laon, also known as "Berthe au grand pied" or "Bertha Broadfoot" was not only a loving mother but also a Frankish Queen. The tenderness captured in this image reflects their close bond and hints at the strong foundation that would shape Charlemagne's future reign. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing forth the elegance and grace of both mother and son. As we gaze upon their faces, we can almost feel their warmth radiating from within. This piece transports us back to the 8th century when Europe was undergoing significant political changes. It reminds us that even amidst power struggles and conquests, family remained central to these historical figures' lives. As we admire this artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us appreciate its ability to connect us with our past. Through Zier's skillful handiwork, we are reminded of Charlemagne's legacy as Emperor and founder of the Carolingian dynasty while simultaneously capturing an endearing moment between a queenly mother and her beloved child.
