EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Charlemagne and the dead Fastrada. Seated by Fastradas side at Ingelkeim" we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment of history. The image, captured by Sidney Meteyard, showcases an intimate scene from "The Golden Legend" published in the 1920s. Seated beside his deceased wife, Fastrada, Charlemagne's regal presence is juxtaposed with the somber atmosphere surrounding them. The composition evokes a sense of melancholy as we observe the great king mourning his beloved queen. Meteyard skillfully captures the emotional depth of this historical event through his attention to detail and use of light and shadow. Each brushstroke seems to convey Charlemagne's grief-stricken expression as he contemplates his loss. This powerful image not only portrays a personal tragedy but also alludes to larger themes such as religion and temptation. As Charlemagne grapples with his sorrow, one cannot help but notice Satan lurking in the background - a subtle reminder of the constant battle between good and evil that exists even within moments of profound sadness. Through this photo print, Meteyard invites us into a world where art intertwines with history, allowing us to reflect upon our own mortality while appreciating the enduring legacy left behind by figures like Charlemagne.
