EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment as Charlemagne, the renowned king of the Franks and Lombards, receives and knights the four Aymon sons at his royal court. The scene is inspired by a 13th-century miniature created by Huon de Villeneuve, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of medieval France. In this image, we witness Charlemagne's role as both a powerful monarch and a symbol of chivalry. The young squires stand before him in anticipation, their faces reflecting a mix of excitement and nervousness. As he raises his sword to bestow knighthood upon them, Charlemagne embodies strength and authority while also softening his demeanor with an air of benevolence. The setting itself speaks volumes about the grandeur of the French royal court during this period. Intricate fortifications surround them, emphasizing security and stability within Charlemagne's reign. A lily flower prominently displayed on his attire serves as a symbol of purity and divine right to rule. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures every detail in this photograph, allowing us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic beauty. Through this image, we are transported back to the 8th century when Charlemagne's Carolingian dynasty reigned over Europe. As we admire this piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, it serves as a reminder of France's rich cultural heritage and its enduring impact on European history.
