EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment - the meeting between Pope Adrian I and Charlemagne. The miniature, found in the incunabula Chronicles of France, was printed by A. Verard in Paris in 1493. Dating back to the 8th century, this image transports us to a time when empires were formed and alliances were forged. In this scene, we witness the powerful figures of Pope Adrian I and Charlemagne coming together against a backdrop of stunning landscapes. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the meticulously crafted liturgical vestments worn by both men to the intricate jewelry adorning their regal attire. Mounted on majestic horses, they meet at an ecclesiastical location with a towering church as its centerpiece. Symbolizing their authority are the processional cross held high and Charlemagne's crown denoting his status as king. The artist skillfully portrays not only their physical presence but also their respective roles within society - Pope Adrian I as head of the Church and Charlemagne as Emperor of Francia. Preserved for centuries within Turin's National Library, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era that shaped European history. It serves as a testament to human achievements during the Middle Ages while reminding us of our shared cultural heritage. Santiago Ortega's expertise has brought forth this extraordinary image for all history enthusiasts to appreciate without any commercial intent or use.
