EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts Charlemagne (742-814), the legendary Frankish king and first Holy Roman Emperor, in a pivotal moment of his reign as a Catholic ruler. Preceded by his grandfather Charles Martel, who had famously defeated the Umayyad army at the Battle of Tours in 732, Charlemagne continued the mission to spread Christianity throughout the Frankish kingdom and beyond. In this print, Charlemagne is shown accompanied by the defeated Saxon leader Wittekind (d. 810), who had led a series of uprisings against Frankish rule. The defeated Wittekind, wearing a horned helmet and holding a spear, stands submissively before the triumphant Charlemagne. In the background, the pagan idol Irminsul lies trampled underfoot by Charlemagne's horse, symbolizing the king's decisive victory over paganism. The image also highlights the importance of Charlemagne's successors, who are depicted in the background, continuing the mission to spread Christianity and consolidate the Frankish empire. The print, which dates to around 814, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Charlemagne as a powerful and influential figure in European history. The image is a rare and valuable historical record of the Frankish ruler's triumph over paganism and his role as a champion of Christianity. It is a powerful reminder of the complex and dynamic nature of European history, marked by the clash of religious and political ideologies, and the enduring impact of charismatic leaders on the course of history.
