"Emperor Charlemagne" is a notable engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the year 1512. This work is part of a series of engravings by Dürer that depict historical figures and royalty, showcasing his mastery in the art of printmaking and his interest in the human form, as well as his engagement with the political and cultural identities of his time.

The engraving presents Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, who was King of the Franks from 768, King of the Lombards from 774, and Emperor of the Carolingians from 800 until his death in 814. Dürer's portrayal of Charlemagne is imbued with symbolic elements that emphasize the emperor's power and his significant role in the Christian history of Europe. Charlemagne is depicted in a stately pose, wearing imperial regalia, which includes a crown, a scepter, and a sword, signifying his authority and military prowess. The detailed rendering of his attire and the intricate patterns on his cloak reflect Dürer's attention to detail and his skill in creating textures and depth in his engravings.

The "Emperor Charlemagne" engraving is significant not only for its artistic excellence but also for its historical context. It was created during a period when the Holy Roman Empire, which saw itself as a continuation of Charlemagne's legacy, was undergoing significant political and religious changes. Dürer's interest in depicting Charlemagne can be seen as an expression of the contemporary reverence for the emperor's legacy and the desire to connect the present with the illustrious past.

This work is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors due to its technical proficiency and its place within the broader scope of Dürer's oeuvre. "Emperor Charlemagne" is housed in several prominent museum collections and continues to be a subject of scholarly study, offering insights into the artistic, cultural, and political milieu of early 16th-century Europe.
