EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Pepin le Bref dans l arene" depicts a powerful moment in history. The image showcases Pepin the Short, the King of the Franks from 714 to 768, standing triumphantly in an arena after slaying both a lion and a bull. This dramatic scene is beautifully captured by the French School in the 19th century. The artwork was created as an illustration for Victor Duruy's "Histoire de France" published by Hachette in 1892. It portrays Pepin's bravery and strength during his reign as he confronts these formidable creatures. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of this battle scene, with Pepin wielding his sword victoriously while spectators watch on with awe and admiration. The historical significance of this event cannot be understated, as it symbolizes not only Pepin's prowess but also reflects medieval values of courage and heroism. This print offers us a glimpse into French history during the eighth century when Carolingian dynasty ruled over Europe. It reminds us of Pepin's royal lineage and his significant contributions to shaping France. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this engraving serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical legacy. Its presence evokes curiosity about ancient civilizations, their customs, conflicts, and ultimately celebrates human resilience against all odds.
