"Pippin: A Legacy of Kings and Art" Pippin, a name that echoes through history, represents not only the renowned rulers but also captivating works of art. From Pepin of Herstal in 635 to Pippin III the Short in 768, these kings left an indelible mark on their respective kingdoms. One such depiction is found in the chromolitho portrait titled "Pepin the Short, King of France. " This artwork showcases his regal presence as he ruled from 752 to 768. Another stunning representation can be seen in the Schedelsche Weltchronik's "Portrait of Pepin the Short, " capturing his essence for eternity. Moving beyond portraits, we delve into different mediums. In "Fishing in the Brandywine: Early Fall, 1932, " an oil painting transports us to a serene autumn scene where fishing becomes a metaphor for life's contemplation and tranquility. The equestrian portrait on vellum titled "Ms 4 Equestrian Portrait of Pepin" takes us back to c. 773-810 when Pepin reigned as King of Italy. The intricate details showcase his power and authority during this period. Not limited to paintings alone, sculptures like "Pepin the Short attacking the head of lion and bull" captivate with their dynamic energy and symbolism. These pieces depict bravery and strength associated with this legendary ruler. Beyond politics or artistry lies another dimension - spirituality. Saints Pepin I and Saint Begga are immortalized together in various artworks throughout history; ca. 1645-72 by Anton Joseph von Prenner or later recreated in 1732 by unknown hands. Their bond transcends time as they stand united even after centuries have passed. Lastly, we encounter everyday objects bearing Pippins' name.
