EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from the 15th-century tale of Renaud De Montauban, beautifully captured by Kellerhoven in 1849. The illustration showcases an exquisite facsimile of an illuminated manuscript found in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris. In this particular scene, we witness a momentous encounter between two significant figures. On the left side of the image, a messenger arrives bearing an important letter, while on the right stands Emperor Charlemagne himself. Charlemagne, also known as Charles I or Charles the Great (742-814 AD), was a revered monarch and key figure during medieval times. His presence exudes power and authority as he sits upon his regal throne. This artwork is part of "Les Quatre Fils Aymon" a French chanson de geste that narrates heroic deeds and adventures. The chromolithograph technique used to create this print adds vibrant colors that bring life to every detail within the composition. The meticulous attention to detail by Ferdinand Sere's artistic direction further enhances its beauty. This remarkable piece transports us back to a time when literature played a crucial role in shaping cultural narratives. It serves as both an homage to historical events and an appreciation for artistry from centuries past. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by these tales and their impact on our understanding of history and human nature.
