EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving depicts Holy Roman Emperor Louis the Child, also known as Ludovicus VI or Conrad the Younger, who ruled from 893 to 911. Born as the son of Arnulf of Carinthia, Louis ascended the throne at a young age following his father's death. The image showcases the emperor in a classical Roman style, wearing the imperial diadem and holding a scepter, symbolizing his imperial power. Louis the Child's reign was marked by numerous challenges, including conflicts with the Magyars and internal power struggles. Despite these challenges, he managed to maintain the integrity of the Holy Roman Empire and strengthen its position in Eastern Francia. This engraving is taken from Abraham Bogaert's seminal work, "De Roomsche Monarchy," published in Utrecht in 1697. Bogaert's work was a comprehensive study of the Roman monarchy, featuring portraits of emperors and caesars from ancient Rome to the Holy Roman Empire. The engraving is a testament to the enduring influence of classical Roman art and the fascination with imperial power that spanned across centuries. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds of Louis' robes to the ornate decorations on his throne, highlight the skill and artistry of the engraver. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the Holy Roman Empire and the enduring allure of imperial power.
