EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts Charles 2, also known as Charles the Fat, who reigned as the 29th king of France from 884 to 888. The artwork is a detailed section taken from a popular engraved print by Pellerin of Epinal, showcasing the lineage of French kings and queens throughout history. Charles 2 was a significant figure in European history during the Carolingian dynasty. His reign marked a period of political turmoil and Viking invasions that threatened the stability of France. Despite his nickname "le Gros" (the Fat), he was known for his intelligence and diplomatic skills. The vibrant colours used in this engraving bring life to Charles' regal attire, emphasizing his royal status. The attention to detail highlights every intricate element, from his majestic crown to the fine embroidery on his garments. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time to witness an era filled with power struggles and grandeur. It serves as a reminder of France's rich cultural heritage and its influential role within Europe. Displayed proudly in a private collection, this print captures not only historical significance but also artistic mastery. It allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such engravings and the legacy left behind by remarkable rulers like Charles 2.
