EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, as depicted in the artwork "Ms 659 fol. 2r Charlemagne Names the First Count of Flanders" by Master of Mary of Burgundy. The detail showcased here is part of a larger vellum manuscript dating back to 1477, known as La Chronique de Flandre. In this scene, we witness the iconic figure of Charlemagne (747-814), King of the Franks and Holy Roman Emperor, bestowing great honor upon the first Count of Flanders. The medieval manuscript chronicles the lineage and achievements of these noble counts throughout time. The artist's skillful rendering transports us back to an era where letters were meticulously crafted on parchment with utmost care. The landscape setting adds depth and context to this historical event, immersing us into a world long gone but forever preserved through art. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it serves as a reminder that honoring one's heritage and ancestry has always been deeply ingrained in human culture. This image not only showcases medieval craftsmanship but also symbolizes respect for tradition and recognition for those who have contributed significantly to their land. With kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of Holkham Estate, we are fortunate enough to appreciate this exquisite work that continues to inspire awe centuries after its creation.
