EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The death of Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor, drowning in the Saleph River, Turkey in 1190" depicts a tragic moment from history. Created by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld and part of a private collection, this artwork offers a glimpse into the events surrounding the demise of an influential figure. Intriguingly illustrating Die Welt in Bildern, Orbis Pictus (Hottinger, 1881), this piece captures the chaos and turmoil of the Third Crusade. The viewer is transported to the banks of the Saleph River in Turkey during the twelfth century. Amidst swirling waters and tumultuous waves stands Frederick I himself – clad in traditional plate armor that glistens under sunlight. Surrounded by soldiers and naval troops on horseback, it becomes evident that even great leaders are not immune to tragedy. This scene showcases both male and female combatants united for their cause. From conscripts to seasoned veterans, they form a formidable army ready to defend their emperor until his last breath. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every mesh size on each soldier's armor can be discerned with precision. Even horses are depicted with grace and strength as they gallop through treacherous terrain. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, viewers are invited to reflect upon historical events while appreciating artistry at its finest. It serves as a poignant reminder that even those who seem invincible can succumb to fate's cruel hand – forever etching their stories into our collective memory.
