EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the influential Carolingian dynasty of France. The image features four generations of rulers, each with their own unique contributions to history. At the forefront are Pepin the Brief and Bertrade of Laon, a power couple who reigned during the 8th century. Their regal attire and majestic poses exude authority and grace. Behind them stands Charles I, also known as Charlemagne, one of Europe's most legendary monarchs. His imposing figure symbolizes his immense strength and ambition. Beside him is Hildegarde of Vintzgau, his wife and partner in ruling an empire that stretched across much of Western Europe. Together, they laid the foundation for what would become known as the Carolingian Renaissance. The third generation includes Louis I, often referred to as "the Pious" or "the Debonnaire" along with his wife Ermengarde of Hesbaye. This couple embodies elegance and sophistication amidst a backdrop of political turmoil. This remarkable print captures not only the grandeur but also the complexity of medieval French aristocracy. It serves as a reminder that behind every crown lies a story filled with love, power struggles, alliances, and legacies that shape nations for centuries to come. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography brings these historical figures back to life in stunning detail—a testament to their enduring impact on French history and beyond.
