EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1882 depicts a significant historical moment: the meeting between Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor, and Pope Urban V in Avignon in 1365. The English School of the 19th century beautifully captures this medieval encounter, showcasing the grandeur and formality of the occasion. Charles IV, also known as Karel IV or Karl IV, was not only the second king of Bohemia from the House of Luxembourg but also became the first king of Bohemia to ascend to Holy Roman Emperor. In this particular event, Charles visited Pope Urban V at Avignon with a noble purpose - he pledged to escort him safely to Rome. Additionally, during their time together in Avignon, Charles was crowned King of Burgundy at Arles. The lithograph is part of "A Pictorial History of the World's Great Nations" authored by Charlotte Mary Yonge and published in New York in 1882. It offers us a glimpse into an era long past; an era characterized by intricate canopies and elaborate ceremonial attire. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Prismatic Pictures collection today, we are reminded not only of these two powerful figures but also how history has shaped our present world. This image serves as a testament to human ambition and diplomacy while offering us a visual connection to centuries gone by.
