EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricately carved ivory cover of the Psalter of Emperor Charles the Bald, dating back to the 9th century. Crafted with remarkable detail and precision, this chromolitho reproduction captures the essence of this historical masterpiece. The cover features a mesmerizing array of angelic figures, including seraphs and cherubs, symbolizing divine presence and heavenly protection. Each delicate figure is meticulously rendered, highlighting their ethereal beauty and grace. The vibrant colors used in this chromolitho bring life to every corner of this artwork. Originally created for Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance by Paul Lacroix and Ferdinand Sere in Paris during 1848-51, this image has been preserved through time to offer us a glimpse into the rich history of Christian art. It serves as a testament to the profound influence that religion had on artistic expression during that era. Emperor Charles the Bald was an important figure in Carolingian history, known for his patronage of arts and culture. This psalter cover exemplifies his appreciation for fine craftsmanship and devotion to Christianity. Displayed against a backdrop representing Europe's map from that period, it also reflects France's significant role as part of Charlemagne's Frankish Empire. This piece not only represents religious iconography but also serves as a reminder of European heritage. This print is a valuable addition to any collection or exhibition seeking to explore both religious symbolism and medieval artistry at its finest.
