EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Succession of Pepin the Brief, 768" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. The artwork depicts an assembly that gathered to decide the fate of a kingdom. It was here that the future of Charlemagne (747-814) and Carloman (ca. 751-771), sons of Pepin the Brief, hung in the balance. The composition beautifully captures the tension and significance of this event. Jean Michel Moreau's intricate engravings bring each figure to life, showcasing their emotions as they grapple with dividing power and breaking down previous arrangements made by their father. As we gaze upon this historical scene, we are transported to a time when public assemblies held immense influence over dynastic successions. The weighty decisions made within these walls shaped not only individual destinies but also altered the course of nations. Stefano Bianchetti's expert curation allows us access into this private collection where we can appreciate both the artistic mastery and historical importance encapsulated within this print. Through its monochromatic palette, every line etched on paper tells a story - one filled with ambition, rivalry, and familial bonds tested by power struggles. This engraving serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, political intrigue played out against grand backdrops like those depicted here. Intriguingly framed by Moreau le Jeune's artistry and Stefano Bianchetti's preservation efforts, this print invites us to ponder how decisions made centuries ago continue to shape our world today
