EDITORS COMMENTS
Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was the King of the Franks from 768 to 814, and is considered one of the most significant figures in European history. This intricately carved stone sculpture, created during the 9th century, is a testament to the enduring legacy of this European icon. Discovered at the Abbey of Saint John in Mustair, Switzerland, the sculpture is now housed at the German Historical Museum in Berlin, Germany. Charlemagne is depicted in regal attire, wearing a crown adorned with intricate designs and holding an orb in his left hand, symbolizing his power and authority as a ruler. In his right hand, he holds a scepter, further emphasizing his royal status. The globe in his left hand represents his role as a leader on the European stage, while the interior of the sculpture reveals a detailed representation of the monarch's face, showcasing the skill and artistry of the sculptor. The Abbey of Saint John, located in the Engadin Valley in eastern Switzerland, was an important convent during the Middle Ages. The sculpture is believed to have been created during this period, and is a valuable addition to the German Historical Museum's extensive collection of European art and history. This stunning sculpture offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and historical heritage of Europe during the 8th and 9th centuries, a time of great change and transformation. Charlemagne's reign marked the beginning of the Middle Ages, and his influence can still be felt in European politics, art, and culture to this day.
