EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Charlemagne's sword, a symbol of power and authority during the reign of Charles the Great. The hilt features a round pommel adorned with an intricately designed eagle, representing strength and majesty. With its short guard and gem-encrusted scabbard, this weapon exudes opulence and grandeur. Created by Villain in the 19th century, this handcoloured lithograph brings to life Horace de Viel-Castel's illustration from his renowned Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture to be used in the history of France). Treuttel & Wurtz published this remarkable piece in 1827. The image transports us back to ancient times when swords were not only practical tools but also symbols of status. This relic from the eighth century holds immense historical significance as it belonged to Charlemagne himself – King of the Franks, Lombards, and Emperor of the Romans. Its presence evokes images of medieval battles and illuminates our understanding of that era. As we admire this stunning artwork captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded once again that history is brought alive through art. This photograph invites us into a world where fashion intertwines with weaponry while shedding light on French culture during ancient times.
