EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment between Fulrade, the esteemed chaplain of Pepin the Brief, and Pope Stephen II. In this 18th-century engraving by Jean Michel Moreau the Younger, we witness an exchange that would shape the course of history. Fulrade presents Pope Stephen II with the keys to fifteen cities wrested from the Lombards, which would lay the foundation for what would later become known as the pontifical state. The gravity of this gesture is palpable as both men kneel before each other in reverence and respect. Adding to this poignant scene are Pepin le Brief's two sons, Charles and Carloman, who also kneel alongside their father. Their presence serves as a testament to their family's unwavering commitment to supporting and protecting the papacy. The intricate details captured in Garreau d' after Moreau's engraving bring this historical event to life. Each figure is meticulously portrayed with expressions that convey deep emotion and significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment where alliances were forged and destinies intertwined. It reminds us of how power dynamics can shift through acts of diplomacy and faith. Stefano Bianchetti has masterfully preserved this piece of history through his photography skills, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty centuries later.
