EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a pivotal moment in history, as depicted by the renowned artist Pieter Paul Rubens. The scene portrays Kings Clothar and Dagobert engaged in a heated dispute with a Herald from the Emperor Mauritius. This sketch was created as part of the High Altarpiece for St Bavo in Ghent, Belgium, back in 1611. Rubens' mastery is evident in this baroque masterpiece, showcasing his ability to capture intricate details and emotions through oil on wood. The painting transports us back to ancient Flanders during the reign of the Franks, specifically highlighting Chlothar II and Dagobert I. Clothar II, also known as Chlothar the Great or Chlothar the Young, ruled over Neustria while Dagobert I governed Austrasia within Merovingian Franks. Their disagreement with a herald sent by Emperor Mauritius adds an intriguing layer to their story. This artwork not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also offers insights into biblical references and historical events that shaped Europe during that era. Its presence within the collection of London's National Gallery further solidifies its significance within fine art history.
