Title: 'Karlsschrein', Shrine of Charlemagne, Aachen Cathedral, c.1215
Post by: Druzhina on 21 December 2015, 12:03:30 PM
Here are black and white images of the 8 scenes on the roof of the Karlsschrein, Shrine of Charlemagne, Aachen Cathedral, c.1215 (http://www.warfare.altervista.org/13/Karlsschrein.htm)
I have a coloured image of one, the Conquest of Pamplona on the Charlemagne Reliquary, in Aachen Cathedral, ca. 1215 (http://www.warfare.altervista.org/13/Conquest_of_Pamplona-Charlemagne_Reliquary-c1215.htm)
Does anyone have better images?
This knight of c.1205 in Armies of Feudal Europe 1066-1300 by Ian Heath, is based on the Conquest of Pamplona on the Charlemagne Reliquary (http://www.warfare.altervista.org/WRG/Feudal-6-Knight-c1205.htm)
In this, (b) is based on The Cardena Beatus Codex, Spain, 12th century, Archaeological Museum, Madrid (http://www.warfare.altervista.org/12/Beatus-Cardena-death_of_the_2_witnesses.htm)
(d) is based on Knights on Wall paintings from All Saints Church, Claverley, Shropshire, England (http://www.warfare.altervista.org/12/Claverley-Wall_painting.htm)
Any ideas what (c) and (e) are based on?
