EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic meeting between King of Franks, Pepin the Brief (715-768), and Pope Stephen II (752-757) on January 6,754. The rendezvous took place in Ponthion near Vitry-le-Francois in Marne, a significant event that would shape the course of history. Illustrated by Tancredi Scarpelli (1866-1937) for Paolo Giudici's "Storia d Italia" in 1930, this image is now part of a private collection. The meeting between these two powerful figures marked a turning point as it laid the foundation for what would become known as the pontifical states or papal states. It was during this encounter that Pepin made an important donation or agreement with Quierzy, ultimately leading to the creation of these influential territories. Intriguingly composed and rich in detail, Scarpelli's illustration transports us back to that momentous day when political and religious forces converged. The expressions on their faces hint at both anticipation and determination as they discuss matters crucial to their respective realms. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform and The Holbarn Archive's preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this remarkable piece today. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of how pivotal moments like these have shaped our world throughout history.
