EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Charlemagne Receiving the submission of Witikind at Paderborn 785" captures a significant moment in history. Painted by Ary Scheffer, this oil on canvas masterpiece resides in the Chateau de Versailles, France. In this scene from the eighth century, we witness Charlemagne, the Frankish king and emperor, receiving the submission of Witikind, a legendary Saxon chieftain. Witikind was not only a symbol of Saxon independence but also an iconic figure of legend. Prior to his defeat by Charlemagne's army during the Saxon Wars from 777 to 785, he was known as Widukind or "child of the woods". Interestingly, after his defeat and subsequent baptism into Christianity, he became an emblematic pagan-turned-Christian. The painting showcases Charlemagne mounted on horseback surrounded by bishops and soldiers clad in armor. The atmosphere is charged with tension as Witikind humbly surrenders to Charlemagne's authority. This historic event marked a turning point for both Germanic tribes and their relationship with Frankish rule. Scheffer's attention to detail brings this pivotal moment to life with vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes. The composition highlights not only the power dynamics between these two leaders but also emphasizes their contrasting backgrounds – one representing imperial might while the other symbolizing resilience and defiance. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to historical events that shaped Europe during medieval times
