Love these old artworks and dude is seriously dripped out dammnn
Ah, the big dog 👌🏾
Dürers work is so awesome.
Did he have tattooed hands?!?
Question from an American deeply interested in European history – how is Charlemagne remembered in Germany?
From my understanding there was a concerted effort by French historians over the past 1,000 years to ensure that Charlemagne would always be remembered as a French figure (hence the name).
That said, Charlemagne’s empire comprised modern Germany as well, and the tradition of Holy Roman Empire took root in what would become Germany, rather than what would become France, and successors to the title were all German – at least from Otto I onward.
Is there a tradition in Germany of trying to “claim” Charlemagne as a sort of “founding father?”
Karl der Große
The father of both germany and france, kinda.
His house is very interesting. A must see if in Nuremberg.

Probably the most iconic portrait of Charlemagne, even if he actually looked [nothing like that](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a4/92/e6/a492e6610c54ae3d1a33e2b2ad6a7124.jpg).
Charlemagne: Total War when
What’s everyone one about in the comments? Karel De Grote was Belgian, not French or German. It’s so obvious and simple.

Tiny hands
Why are his hands also covered with gems?
I wanna take this to my barber and say “Let’s do a Charle-mane”.
That’s Christopher Lee?
Is Dürer the best German painter of all time?
The last time so far that most of Europe has been truly united.
Are those hand tats?
