EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment, showcasing the esteemed Grand Master Pinto and his council receiving the Counts of Montegnacco and di Florio. Painted by Berghinz in the 19th century, this oil on canvas artwork is now housed in the Museum of the Order of St. John in London. The scene depicted here takes us back to Malta in 1748, where an important meeting was held at the Grand Masters Palace. The Counts of Montegnacco and di Florio, representing Udine's Cathedral of Aquilea, arrived to request that their town be reinstated into the Order after being excluded previously. This gathering became known as Consilium in Arena. The painting itself is a copy of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's work displayed at Museo Civico in Udine. It beautifully portrays a group of dignitaries engaged in conversation and greeting one another with respect and formality. Through this image, we are transported to a time when diplomacy played a crucial role in shaping alliances and resolving disputes. It serves as a reminder of how art can not only capture history but also provide insight into societal norms and power dynamics. With its rich colors and attention to detail, this painting stands as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document within the collection at eMuseum of the Order of St. John.
