Caribert, roi des Francs, offre l’anneau royal à Théodechilde

J. D. Lascours, d’après Jean-Antoine Laurent · Domaine public

This painting depicts the Merovingian king Charibert offering his royal ring to Theodogilda in a scene marked by solemnity and grace. It illustrates a dynastic episode from the early Middle Ages as reimagined by 19th-century history painting, emphasizing union, royal status, and the romanticized vision of Frankish origins.
