EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the era of Pope Clement VI, also known as Peter Roger. The image showcases a group of mercenaries and bandits associated with the influential pope who reigned from 1291 to 1352. The intricate details captured by the French School artist in this print provide a glimpse into the turbulent times during which these individuals operated. Their rugged appearances and determined expressions hint at their dangerous lifestyles, highlighting their roles as enforcers for Pope Clement VI. As we delve deeper into history through Maurice Lachatre's "History of the Popes" we uncover not only tales of religious authority but also accounts of crimes committed by monarchs and emperors throughout centuries past. This particular engraving serves as a visual representation of those stories, shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of papal power. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork invites us to reflect on the complexities that existed within medieval society. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful craftsmanship ensures that every line etched onto this piece tells its own story, capturing our imagination and transporting us back to an age long gone. Through this evocative portrayal, we are reminded that even figures revered for their spiritual leadership were not immune to employing unconventional means to maintain control over their dominions.
