1. Title: "King Dagobert I's Tomb in the Basilica of St. Denis: A Testament to Merovingian Grandeur" This evocative handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Robert von Spalart in 1810, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, depicting the magnificent tomb of King Dagobert I (603-639 AD) housed within the hallowed walls of the Basilica of St. Denis. King Dagobert I, a prominent ruler of the Merovingian Dynasty, is renowned for his significant contributions to the political and cultural landscape of early medieval Europe. His reign marked a period of relative peace and stability, allowing for the flourishing of art, architecture, and learning. The Basilica of St. Denis, located in the outskirts of Paris, serves as the royal necropolis for the Merovingian and later French monarchs. King Dagobert I's tomb, with its intricate design and ornate decoration, stands as a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the Merovingian court. The engraving reveals the elaborate architecture of the basilica, with its vaulted ceilings, ornate columns, and intricate stonework. At the center, the tomb of King Dagobert I is depicted as a magnificent sarcophagus, adorned with gold and precious gems, resting upon a raised platform. The king himself is shown reclining, dressed in the regal attire of the time, surrounded by his attendants and the symbols of his power. This engraving, part of Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, not only offers a glimpse into the architectural and artistic achievements of the Merovingian era but also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence European history and art.
