EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Charles, a prominent figure from the Carolingian dynasty, who reigned as king from 884 to 887. During his reign, Charles faced the daunting challenge of dealing with a Norman siege on Paris. Instead of engaging in direct confrontation with the Normans, he opted for an alternative approach by purchasing peace from them. Interestingly, Charles-le-Gros is not traditionally included in the numerical order of kings due to his controversial status as either a regent or usurper. This adds an intriguing layer to his legacy and highlights the complexities of medieval politics. The exquisite design and engraving of this artwork were masterfully executed by Ambroise Tardieu in 1825. Tardieu's attention to detail brings out the rich historical context surrounding Charles' reign and emphasizes his significance within French history. Through this medium, Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures the essence of this period in time when Vikings posed a significant threat to France. The image transports viewers back to the 9th century Middle Ages, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical importance. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of how art can preserve and convey stories that might otherwise be forgotten over time. It invites us to delve into history and explore the intricate narratives woven within it.
