EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the exquisite vermeil bust of Charlemagne, which serves as a reliquary and is preserved in the Treasury of Aix-la-Chapelle. The French School from the 19th century skillfully captured this historical masterpiece, now held in a private collection. The intricately detailed engraving allows us to admire the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating this remarkable piece. Charlemagne's regal presence is evident as his likeness is immortalized in gleaming vermeil, a combination of gold and silver. As a reliquary, this bust holds great significance for its connection to Charlemagne, who was one of history's most influential figures. It symbolizes the veneration and preservation of relics associated with him. The illustration featured here was originally created for "Les Chroniqueurs de l'Histoire de France" by Madame de Witt in 1883. Its inclusion in this publication highlights its importance within French history. This image offers us a glimpse into both French culture and history. It reminds us of Charlemagne's enduring legacy and his impact on France as well as other territories influenced by French culture throughout history.
