Description
19th Century photogravure, The Death Of Chramn, from an 1880's edition of The Masterpieces of French Art. Goupil & cie engravers, from the original painting by E.V. Luminais. 11" X 14 1/2" on Japon paper. * foxing from age. Comes with information sheet on the painting. According to the ancient chronicler, Chramn, the son of Clotaire I. & grandson of Clovis I. of France, rebelled against his father, & after unsuccessfully attempting an insurrection, with a view to dethroning him, was forced to flee & take refuge with Chonobre, Count of the Bretons. Clotaire immediately made war on Chonobre, & after vanquishing him, pursued Chramn to his cabin, where he had fled to protect his wife and two daughters. After an ineffectual defense, he and his family were bound & the torch applied to the cabin, where all perished in the flames. Such was the summary way of dealing with rebellion thirteen hundred years ago.
