EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the succession of Louis 1st the Pious or the Debonnaire in 816. The emperor of the West, who reigned from 778 to 840, is portrayed standing before three crowns that symbolize the division of his empire into three kingdoms. Each crown represents one of his sons: Lothaire, Pepin, and Louis. The engraving was created in 1825 by an unknown artist for "Histoire de France represented by synoptic paintings dediee to the children of France and employee for their education". Ambroise Tardieu skillfully executed this steel engraving, which now resides in a private collection. The image not only showcases artistic talent but also serves as a visual representation of an important event in European history. It highlights how power and authority were divided among family members during medieval times. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when empires were vast and complex. We can almost feel the weight of responsibility on Louis' shoulders as he contemplates dividing his realm amongst his heirs. This historical artifact reminds us that even great rulers faced challenges within their own families and had to make difficult decisions regarding succession. Stefano Bianchetti's preservation of this piece allows us to appreciate its significance today while honoring its timeless beauty.
