EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the 8th-9th century, depicting Charlemagne hunting in an Oriental/Eastern style with falcons. The artist, Serm, beautifully portrays the King of the Franks during his reign from 768. Known as Charlemagne (c742-814), he was crowned Emperor of the Romans in 800 AD by Leo III. His vast kingdom encompassed almost all of western and central Europe. In this scene, we see Charlemagne surrounded by his hunting party in the picturesque countryside. Riding on horseback with his loyal hound by his side, he commands attention as a powerful monarch and skilled hunter. The presence of majestic falcons adds to the allure of this royal blood sport known as falconry. The print not only showcases Charlemagne's passion for hunting but also provides insight into the cultural exchange between Western Europe and Eastern traditions during that era. It is evident that this artwork is meticulously detailed through its monochrome depiction. Preserved within La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles, Volume I edited by F Roy in Saint-Antoine between 1882-1884, this engraving serves as a historical testament to one of history's most influential figures - Charles I or better known as Charlemagne.
