French painting from the second half of the 19th century. Oil artwork on canvas depicting a historical subject, The Last of the Merovingians, a very high quality contemporary copy of the famous painting by Evariste-Vital Luminais (1821-1896). Painting representing the deposition of King Childeric III, the last King of the Franks of the Merovingian lineage. Pepin the Short, to take Childeric's place, wrote to Pope Zechariah asking if the title of King belonged to those who exercised power or to those who were of royal blood. The Pope replied that he should be the king who exercised power. Having thus received the approval of the Supreme Pontiff, Pepin the Short had the sovereign deposed and took his place. Childeric, known as the Ghost King, was then shaved. His long hair was the symbol of his dynasty and royal rights. By cutting them he was deprived of these rights. An artwork that develops vertically, the details of the composition and the drapery of the robes are meticulous and well cared for. Note the crown abandoned in a corner together with the royal cloak at the bottom left. Modern carved and gilded wooden frame with beautiful decoration. Painting that has undergone restoration with relining, replacement of the frame and recovery of color in small spots. Overall in good state of conservation. Sight size H 98 x W 79 cm.
