EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment when Charlemagne, the great Emperor of the Carolingian Dynasty, was crowned by Pope Leo III in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome on December 25th, 800 AD. The image exudes a sense of grandeur and power as Charlemagne is depicted wearing a regal crown and standing tall before the Pope.
The intricate details of this print bring to life a pivotal event in European history, symbolizing the close relationship between church and state during the medieval period. Charlemagne's reign marked a significant era of expansion and cultural revival known as the Carolingian Renaissance.
As we gaze upon this engraving from "Allgemeine Geschichte" by Rotteck dating back to 1844, we are transported back in time to witness this sacred coronation ceremony that solidified Charlemagne's position as Emperor of Europe. The black-and-white contrast adds an air of antiquity to the scene, emphasizing its historical significance.
Through this artwork, we can appreciate the legacy of Charlemagne and his enduring impact on European politics and culture. It serves as a reminder of a time when kings were anointed by popes and divine authority played a central role in shaping society.
