EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a glimpse into the past, depicting Pope Leo III and Emperor Charlemagne in an 8th-century mosaic. The artwork was originally housed in the Church of Saint Susanna at the Baths of Diocletian in Rome but tragically destroyed by an earthquake during the 12th century. The image, captured by Villain in the 19th century, offers a tinted lithograph that beautifully brings to life this historical masterpiece. It is based on an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel from his renowned collection titled "Costumes, Weapons and Furniture for the History of France". This particular piece provides valuable insight into ancient history and medieval times. Pope Leo III and Emperor Charlemagne were significant figures during their era. Charlemagne, also known as Charles I or Charles the Great, was King of Franks who united much of Western Europe under his rule during the early Middle Ages. Pope Leo III played a crucial role in crowning Charlemagne as Holy Roman Emperor on Christmas Day in 800 AD. Although lost to time due to natural disaster, this photograph allows us to appreciate and study this remarkable mosaic artistry that once adorned one of Rome's grandest churches. It serves as a testament to our fascination with fashion, costume design, and French history while reminding us of humanity's enduring connection with illuminated manuscripts from centuries ago.
