Twee scènes met keizer Karel de Grote en paus Leo III 1729 - 1733

This etching, "Twee scènes met keizer Karel de Grote en paus Leo III," by Dominique Sornique depicts two scenes related to the historical figures of Charlemagne and Pope Leo III. The top scene shows the coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III, with both figures kneeling in prayer before a figure representing God. The bottom scene is a more simplified representation of the two figures. Sornique, a French artist, created this work between 1729 and 1733. The piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the popularity of historical and religious themes in 18th-century art. The work's small dimensions, 278mm by 121mm, suggest it may have been part of a larger series or book.
