1 MAY 27 - SEPTEMBER 21, 2014 EUROPE S FATHERS AUGUSTUS AND CHARLEMAGNE A SMALL PRESENTATION The Roman emperor Augustus died 2000 and Charlemagne 1200 years ago. This small exhibition presents a selection of unique artefacts that illustrate the intellectual world of these two seminal rulers, the splendour of their courts, and their importance in European history. The Vienna Coronation Gospels will be on show for the first time since The exhibition showcases two of the museum s most iconic artworks: the Coronation Gospels and the Gemma Augustea. Generally regarded as the
2 most important extant cameo from classical antiquity - and one that Augustus himself probably once owned and touched - the Gemma Augustea depicts him as Jupiter enthroned beside the goddess Roma. The Coronation Gospels was produced for Charlemagne; its purple-dyed parchment pages and gold letters make it one of the most important illuminated manuscripts in European art history. Chosen by Caesar to be his heir, Augustus (63 BC AD 14) had to defeat his adversaries before he could install himself as the de-facto first Emperor in 27 BC, cleverly balancing the need to pretend to preserve the Roman Republic and assuming absolute power. The images and inscriptions on coins minted by him document this exceptional man s route to power; much like today s newspapers, they illustrate and reflect contemporary political ideas and events. Augustus reign lasted several decades, during which he established the political, architectural, artistic and cultural framework that continues to influence Europe and the world. The proclamation of an aurea aetas, a new Golden Age, played a seminal role in this. Augustus was the first Emperor to define his official state portrait, which remained unaltered for decades and was omnipresent throughout the Roman Empire in the form of marble and bronze portraits. Artefacts like the Grimani reliefs from the Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities celebrate eternal peace in carefully composed bucolic scenes. But the imperial cameos represent the apex of Augustus artistic policies, reliefs cut from semi-precious stones that were commissioned by him, or by members of his inner circle and presented to him. Originally only displayed in a private setting, these sumptuous artefacts bring us close to the ruler and his carefully-devised political propaganda. On the Gemma Augustea, the most important extant classical cameo, he is depicted as the equal of the goddess Roma. Such a composition could never be used in a public commission. We may confidently assume that Augustus owned and handled the Gemma Augustea. Subsequent legends connected this exceptional cameo with the memory of Charlemagne, who was said to have worn it as a talisman in battle before donating it to the church of St. Sernin in Toulouse. Via Paris and Venice it eventually entered the renowned Kunstkammer collection assembled by Emperor Rudolf II in Prague and thus the Habsburg collections - in the early 17 th century. In AD 768 Charlemagne (748 [?] 814) succeeded his father as King of the Franks. In numerous campaigns he extended his realm so far that contemporaries revered him as Europe s father or Europe s beacon. Crowned Emperor by the Pope in Rome in AD 800, he was the first mediaeval European ruler to assume the title Imperator Augustus.
3 Underlining the claim to be the rightful heir to the western part of the Roman Empire, which had perished in AD 476, this homage to the first Roman emperor continued to be used for the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire until Charlemagne s coinage also functioned as a public display of his new imperial title and authority: to commemorate important events he minted denarii decorated with his portrait in profile in the style of ancient Roman emperors. Other artists working for him were equally direct in their use of classical models. No other extant illustrated manuscript documents the influences of late-classical painting as powerfully as the Coronation Gospels with its elaborate decorations and refined pictures. Eventually, this truly imperial codex comprising parchment pages dyed purple with gold and silver handwriting were revered as a relic of the founder of the Holy Roman Empire, who was canonized in 1165, and used during the coronation liturgy of its kings and emperors. The exhibition presents this unique masterpiece for the first time since the 1950s. In the course of the exhibition a total of five folio pages will be on display; in addition, the complete facsimile edition, published by Faksimile- Verlag Munich, will allow visitors to view the entire Coronation Gospels. The exhibition is curated by Georg Plattner, Director of the Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities, Franz Kirchweger, Curator of the Kunstkammer Vienna and the Imperial Treasury, Michael Alram, Director of the Coin Collection, and Kathrin Siegel, project assistant in the Coin Collection.
