This 19th-century print captures a significant historical moment from the 8th century. In this artwork, titled "Pope Stephen II pleads for the safety of Pepin the Short from the Lombards" we witness a powerful scene unfolding. The image portrays Pope Stephen II, adorned in his distinctive papal attire and mitre, engaging in an urgent meeting with King Pepin III, also known as Pepin the Short. The setting is richly colored and detailed, showcasing a regal canopy overhead. Both figures exude authority and determination as they discuss matters of great importance. Behind them stand soldiers representing their respective realms - symbolizing war and protection. This chromolithograph not only highlights key historical figures but also emphasizes themes of religion and politics during this tumultuous period known as the Dark Ages. It serves as a reminder of how influential Catholicism was in shaping medieval Europe's power dynamics. Originally produced by the chocolate factory at Monastery of Aiguebelle, this collectible card offers us a glimpse into both artistry and history.
