EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Carolus Magnus, also known as Charlemagne, from the renowned collection "Imperatorum romanorum omnium orientalium et occidentalium verissimae imagines ex antiquis numismatis". Created in 1559 by Rudolph Wyssenbach and printed by Andreas Gesner in Zurich, this woodcut captures the essence of one of history's most influential figures. Charlemagne, born in 742, was not only the King of the Franks but also ascended to become the first Emperor of Western Europe in 800. This remarkable portrait depicts his majestic profile with intricate details that bring forth a sense of power and authority. The artist Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch beautifully translates Charlemagne's image onto this woodcut, capturing his regal presence. The inclusion of coins within this artwork symbolizes Charlemagne's economic prowess and highlights his role as a unifying force during his reign over the Carolingian Empire. The inscription accompanying this piece provides further historical context about Charlemagne's life and accomplishments. Preserved within a private collection today, this stunning print allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind its creation and the significance of Charlemagne's legacy. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to an era when empires were forged through strength and vision.
