EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pepin the Short, the first Carolingian king and King of the Franks from 714 to 768. The image depicts a statue of Pepin in Fulda Cathedral, exuding regal authority and grandeur. Adorned with a crown, cape fastened with a buckle, and an elegant tunic, Pepin embodies the essence of medieval French fashion. In his hands, he holds a fleur de lys sceptre symbolizing power and nobility. A tablet embellished with a jeweled cross rests beside him, representing his devotion to Christianity. The intricately designed throne features lion heads as its prominent motif, signifying strength and courage. The artist Villain skillfully captures this historical figure through their tinted lithograph. Inspired by Horace de Viel-Castel's illustration from "Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France" this artwork transports us back to the eighth century. Through this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of Pepin's significant role in shaping ancient history. His reign marked the beginning of the Carolingian dynasty that would ultimately lead to Charlemagne's empire. This print not only serves as a testament to Pepin's legacy but also offers us a glimpse into medieval France's rich cultural heritage.
