Charlemagne, Plate Seven from The N nine Worthies, 1594
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by the Flemish artist Nicolaes de Bruyn. This masterpiece, created in the late 16th century, depicts Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great or Karl der Grosse, as the seventh in a series of The Nine Worthies. Charlemagne is portrayed as a regal and powerful figure, with a long, flowing beard and a direct gaze that seems to penetrate the viewer. He wears a crown adorned with intricate decorations, symbolizing his status as the Frankish king and Holy Roman Emperor. The circular shape of the engraving adds to the sense of completeness and importance surrounding the monarch. The detail in this print is remarkable, with each line carefully etched onto cream laid paper. Charlemagne's facial hair is depicted in meticulous detail, adding texture and depth to the image. The artist's skillful use of negative space and the inset design of the other worthies in the series adds a sense of context and historical significance to the piece. The image of Charlemagne, with his hand resting on a sword, conveys a sense of strength and leadership. His intense gaze and the sharp blade in his hand suggest that he is ready to defend his kingdom and people. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Charlemagne as a symbol of royalty and heritage. This engraving is a valuable addition to any art collection, and its historical significance makes it a must-see for anyone interested in European history or art. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work in its permanent collection, where it can be admired by visitors from around the world.
