EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles II The Bald, a prominent figure in history who reigned as the king of France and Emperor of the West during the 9th century. The facsimile is based on an exquisite miniature from Le Moyen Age, a renowned publication dating back to 1854. In this portrait, Charles II stands tall with an air of authority befitting his royal status. Despite his regal demeanor, what immediately catches one's attention is his distinct lack of hair - hence his epithet "The Bald". This physical trait adds a unique characteristic to his persona and serves as a reminder that even great leaders possess their own idiosyncrasies. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to the image, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and power associated with medieval rulers. Preserved within the National Library Nazionale in Turin's Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria di Torino collection, this photograph captures not only Charles II but also offers insight into historical personages from that era. Its vertical composition emphasizes its stature and importance among other artifacts housed within these esteemed walls. Photographer Santiago Ortega has skillfully captured this momentous piece for all to admire and appreciate. While commercial use is prohibited for this particular image, it remains an invaluable treasure for historians and enthusiasts alike seeking glimpses into our rich past.
