EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history featuring Bernabo Visconti, the Duke of Milan, after his defeat at San Ruffillo. The image showcases the duke receiving the Nuncios from Pope Innocent VI in 1361, with Galeotto Malatesta representing the pope. The engraving is taken from "Histoire de France" by Jules Michelet, published between 1876 and 1877. In this intriguing scene, the Visconti family presents an unusual choice to the legats - they can either let themselves be crushed like walnuts or consume a bubble. This symbolic gesture reflects both political cunning and religious opposition during that era. The composition of this artwork beautifully portrays various elements such as Christian symbolism, political power dynamics, clergy influence, international relations, and societal norms prevalent during the Middle Ages. Stefano Bianchetti's skilled craftsmanship brings these historical figures to life through intricate details and masterful shading. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment when noble families clashed with religious authorities for control over territories. It serves as a reminder of how power struggles shaped Italian society during that period. This remarkable photograph print not only offers us a glimpse into history but also invites us to contemplate humanity's complex relationship with religion and politics throughout centuries past.
