"Capturing Louis IV" is a monumental oil painting by notable Hungarian artist Gyula Benczúr that dates back to the late 19th Century. It epitomizes Benczúr's realistic yet dramatic style, featuring the moment of the apprehension of Lothair, the Holy Roman Emperor also known as Louis IV, by Archbishop Conrad of Mainz, which stood as a defining moment in the Investiture Controversy.

The painting is a vivid showcase of Benczúr's adeptness at historical painting, often employing narrative drama and detailed chronicle of events. Famed for its skilful representation of clothing and architectural details, "Capturing Louis IV" highlights Benczúr's attention to detail and meticulous approach to historical accuracy. The tension between the characters and the underlying political power play that drove this historical event is effectively captured in the facial expressions and body language of the key figures, lending the work an intensity that is both emotional and visually compelling.

From an art historical perspective, Benczúr's "Capturing Louis IV" holds a significant place, further augmented by its political resonance, detailing a key episode in the power struggle between church and state during the Middle Ages, which still holds significance in our understanding of European history. This painting represents not only an important part of Benczúr's oeuvre but also contributes to the broader understanding of 19th-century European art and its allegorical treatment of historical moments.
