EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts the iconic Emperor Charlemagne in all his regal glory. In one hand, he holds a globe, symbolizing his vast empire and dominion over lands far and wide. In the other hand, he firmly grasps a sword, representing his power and authority as a warrior king. The intricate details of this print showcase the artistry of the French School that created it. The image is based on a miniature found in the registers of the University of Paris, adding historical significance to its portrayal of Charlemagne. A scroll encircles the sword with an inscription that reads "In scelus exurgo, sceleris discrimina purgo" which translates to "I rise against crime and cleanse its dangers". This motto further emphasizes Charlemagne's role as a protector and enforcer of justice during medieval times. The engraving also offers us glimpses into medieval customs, manners, and dress through its depiction of Charlemagne's attire. It serves as an invaluable resource for scholars studying this fascinating period in history. Digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity, this print captures both the grandeur and intricacy associated with Renaissance-era artwork. Its inclusion in private collections ensures that future generations can appreciate not only Charlemagne's legacy but also the artistic skill behind this remarkable piece.
