EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable miniature from the "Codex Calixtinus" known as "Charlemagne and his knights leave Aachen and go to Santiago de Compostela". Created by an unknown artist in the 12th century, this piece is housed in the Archives of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The scene depicted captures Charlemagne, one of history's most legendary figures, embarking on a pilgrimage with his loyal knights. The composition exudes a sense of grandeur and adventure as they set off from Aachen towards their destination - Santiago de Compostela. The intricate details within this medieval artwork transport us back to a time when kings sought spiritual enlightenment through arduous journeys. The vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes bring life to each character, highlighting their noble stature and determination. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of the significance of pilgrimage during the Middle Ages.

Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this historical treasure through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even more. This print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and a glimpse into our rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations today.
