EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor before Paris" could be: "This engraving depicts Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor and known as 'the Roux', expressing his frustration at being unable to penetrate the walls of Paris in 978. The artwork is from the renowned series 'Paris a travers les centuries' by Henri Gourdon de Genouillac, created between 1879 and 1882. In this scene, Otto II can be seen advancing towards the city's fortifications on horseback, determined to plant his spear in its doors. His anger and determination are palpable as he confronts the obstacle before him. This portrayal captures both the historical significance of Otto II's failed attempt to conquer Paris and the emotional intensity of his momentary defeat. The black and white medium adds a sense of timelessness to this image from the Middle Ages, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this pivotal moment in history. Otto II's portrait showcases his regal presence while also revealing glimpses into his inner turmoil. This piece not only serves as a testament to Otto II's military ambitions but also highlights themes such as power struggles, fortitude, and human emotion. It stands as an enduring symbol of one man's quest for dominance amidst a backdrop of medieval warfare. "
