EDITORS COMMENTS
This black chalk drawing, created by the Master of the Strassburg Chronicle in the fifteenth century, depicts a historic gathering of three renowned figures from European history: King Arthur, Charlemagne, and Godfrey of Bouillon. The image, dated to 1492, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the time. Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great or Carolus Magnus, is shown in regal attire, wearing a crown and holding a scepter. Known as the 'Father of Europe,' Charlemagne was a Frankish king who expanded the Carolingian Empire to include much of Western Europe. To his left, King Arthur, the legendary monarch of Britain, is depicted in armor, holding a sword and a shield. The exact historical authenticity of King Arthur is a subject of ongoing debate, but his inclusion in this drawing reflects the enduring fascination with the Arthurian legend. On the right, Godfrey of Bouillon, Duke of Lower Lorraine and the first Defender of the Holy Sepulcher, is shown in crusader attire, wearing a helmet and holding a banner. Godfrey led the First Crusade to Jerusalem in 1099 and was the first European ruler to be crowned King of Jerusalem. The drawing's use of black chalk on paper creates an evocative contrast between the figures and the background, adding to its historical and artistic significance. This masterpiece is a must-see for anyone interested in European history, art, or the aristocracy of the Middle Ages. Whether displayed in an art gallery or private collection, it continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its intricate details and rich historical context.
