EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the momentous event of Pepin the Short, or Pepin le Bref, being crowned as the new King of the Franks in the year 751. Pepin, the son of Charles Martel, assumed the throne following his father's death, marking a significant transition in the Frankish monarchy. The image shows Pepin being crowned by Pope Stephen II, who stands before him, holding the regal crown aloft. The pope's presence underscores the importance of the Church in the political landscape of the time, as well as the Frankish realm's growing influence in Europe. Surrounded by a gathering of nobles, Pepin's coronation symbolized the unity and acceptance of his rule by the Frankish aristocracy. The event marked the beginning of the Carolingian dynasty, which would go on to dominate European history for centuries. Pepin's reign was marked by military conquests, territorial expansion, and the establishment of a strong centralized government. He is also remembered for his patronage of the arts and learning, which contributed to the flourishing of the Carolingian Renaissance. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of medieval Europe, capturing the essence of a pivotal moment in the development of the Frankish kingdom and the broader European political landscape.
