The Saracens Leaving Narbonne, Restored to the Franks - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the defeat of the Saracens by Charlemagne in 737 AD. The image, restored from an engraving found in Edmund Ollier's "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" transports us to the medieval city of Narbonne. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of towering city walls and fortifications that once guarded this historic French town. A group of men, their faces etched with determination and resilience, are depicted leaving Narbonne after their defeat. Among them is Charles I himself, known as Charlemagne or Charles the Great, who led his Frankish forces to victory over these invaders. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of timelessness and drama to this powerful portrayal. It captures not only a historical event but also conveys a deeper narrative about conflict and conquest during Europe's Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this evocative portrait, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and space. It allows us to witness pivotal moments like this one - where empires clashed and destinies were shaped. This print serves as both a visual artifact from our past and an invitation for contemplation on the triumphs and struggles that have defined human history.
