EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful presence of Charlemagne, the legendary king of the Franks. Created by artist DJ Pound in 1875, this portrait showcases Charlemagne's regal demeanor and his significant role as a Christian Emperor. Intriguingly bearded and adorned with majestic jewelry, Charlemagne stands tall wearing his royal cloak and crown. Holding a formidable sword, symbolizing both his authority and prowess in warfare, he embodies the essence of a true monarch. The image transports us back to Christmas Day in 800 AD when Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the West at St Peter's Cathedral in Rome. This historical event marked an important milestone for Christianity as well as for European politics. Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier skillfully engraved this remarkable portrayal that now resides within The Print Collector collection. Through intricate details and masterful use of monochrome tones, Meissonier brings out every aspect of Charlemagne's character - from his resolute expression to his commanding posture. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Charlemagne's immense influence on France but also on Europe as a whole during the 9th century. This artwork serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by one of history's most influential figures - Charles the Great or "Charlemagne. "
