EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Ermolao Donato e Gerardo Dandolo provveditori dell armata contro Francesco Sforza" transports us back to a significant moment in Venetian history. Created by an anonymous Italian artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the bravery and loyalty of Ermolao Donato and Gerardo Dandolo, two provveditori (provisional governors) of the Venetian army. The scene depicted is set during the Battle of Caravaggio in 1448, where Venice faced a devastating defeat against Francesco Sforza's forces. However, amidst chaos and retreat, these valiant leaders refused to abandon their fellow Venetians. The image captures their resolute determination as they reject any chance of personal salvation. This engraving was originally commissioned as an illustration for Storia Veneta Espressa in Centocinquanta Tavole (Grimaldo, 1867), a historical account of Venice. It serves as a visual testament to the indomitable spirit that characterized the people of Venice throughout its storied past. Through intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this artwork transports viewers into a pivotal moment where honor triumphs over self-preservation. It reminds us not only of Venice's rich history but also highlights timeless values such as courage and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from our private collection, we are reminded that history is not merely confined within textbooks; it lives on through art
