EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting, taken from the Great Chronicles of France, edition of Antoine Verard (1493), showcases a captivating scene of Archbishop Turpin and Egmeaux, Charlemagne's chaplain, diligently writing the life story of the emperor. The illustration, a masterpiece of Gothic art, was created in Italy, most likely in Turin, and is now proudly housed in the National Library of the Turin University. The vertical composition of the image emphasizes the dedication and focus of the two figures as they meticulously document the deeds and accomplishments of Charlemagne. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the Middle Ages and allowing us to witness the historical recording process firsthand. The Great Chronicles of France, a significant work of medieval literature, was a popular and influential text that chronicled the history of the Frankish monarchy, and this miniature painting is a testament to the beauty and artistry of the time. The image of Archbishop Turpin and Egmeaux engages the viewer with its vivid depiction of historical record-keeping, offering a glimpse into the past and the importance of preserving the stories of our ancestors.
