"Charlemagne Receives the Surrender of Witikind at Paderborn in 785, Engraved by Joubert" is a historical artwork by the Dutch-French Romantic painter Ary Scheffer, depicting a significant event from the early Middle Ages. The painting illustrates the moment when the Saxon leader Widukind (also spelled Witikind) surrendered to Charlemagne, the King of the Franks, marking a pivotal point in the Saxon Wars and the eventual Christianization of the Saxons.

Ary Scheffer (1795–1858), known for his emotive and often dramatic portrayals of historical and literary scenes, created this work to capture the gravity of the encounter between two formidable figures of European history. Charlemagne, later crowned as the Emperor of the Carolingian Empire, is depicted receiving the submission of Widukind, who had been a staunch opponent of Frankish expansion and the forced Christianization of his people.

The engraving of Scheffer's painting by Joubert further disseminated the image, allowing it to reach a wider audience. Engravings were a common method of reproducing and sharing artworks in the 19th century, and Joubert's work would have played a crucial role in the popularization of Scheffer's historical interpretation.

This piece not only serves as an artistic representation of a historical event but also reflects the 19th-century European interest in the formation of nation-states and the role of Christianity in shaping the continent's history. Scheffer's painting, through Joubert's engraving, contributes to the visual culture of the period by immortalizing the legendary figures and their fateful meeting at Paderborn in 785.

The artwork is significant for its historical subject matter, its role in 19th-century art and politics, and its contribution to the Romantic movement's fascination with the grand narratives of the past. While the painting itself is a testament to Scheffer's skill and historical interest, the engraving by Joubert ensures the continued legacy and accessibility of the image, making it an important piece for both art history and the study of historical representation.
