Clovis and Clotilde, First King and Queen of the Franks

"Clovis and Clotilde" oil painting circa 1811 by French painter Jean-Antoine Gros (1771 - 1835). This is a sketch for his final piece in the dome of the Pantheon de Paris, formerly the Church of Saint Genevieve, the patron saint of Paris. Clovis (466-511) and Clotilde (474-545) were the first king and queen of the Franks to rule over all of the Frankish tribes united together. Considered the founder of the Merovingian dynasty which ruled for the next 200 years, Clovis changed the leadership from a group of royal chieftains to a single king who would pass on his kingship to his heirs. Clotilde is credited with convincing her husband to convert to Christianity, specifically Roman Catholicism, and for spreading Christianity in western Europe through her almsgiving, penitential works of mercy, and building of churches and monasteries. (Image is cropped and cleaned).
