EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Charlemagne, also known as Carolus Magnus, issues the Capitulary of Herstal in 779. Engraved by Eugene Ronjat in the late 19th century, this color lithograph beautifully brings to life the scene depicting the enforcement of tithes payment through an edict. In this artwork, we see Charlemagne seated on his majestic throne, exuding authority and power. Dressed in regal attire with a crown atop his head and holding a scepter, he commands attention from all those present. Surrounding him are courtiers and officials eagerly listening to their ruler's words. The meticulous details captured by Ary Scheffer showcase not only the grandeur of Charlemagne but also provide insight into the historical context. The presence of a male scribe diligently taking notes emphasizes the importance of documenting these capitularies for future reference. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to be transported back in time to witness this pivotal moment firsthand. It serves as a reminder of Charlemagne's reign and his efforts to establish order within his kingdom through taxation policies. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance. It stands as a testament to Charlemagne's legacy as one of Europe's most influential rulers during medieval times.
