EDITORS COMMENTS
Riding into history: This exquisite equestrian statuette of Emperor Charlemagne, crafted in bronze during the 9th century, is a masterpiece of Carolingian art. The Louvre's prized possession, this stunning piece showcases the grandeur and majesty of the Holy Roman Empire's most iconic leader.
Depicted on horseback, Charlemagne sits confidently astride his steed, his regal presence radiating power and authority. The intricate details of his armor and clothing are testament to the skillful craftsmanship of its ancient creators. The horse itself is equally impressive, with its flowing mane and tail capturing the dynamic movement and energy of a living creature.
As part of the Metz Treasure collection, this remarkable artifact provides a glimpse into the artistic tastes and cultural achievements of the Carolingian dynasty. It also serves as a powerful symbol of Charlemagne's enduring legacy as a unifying force in European history.
