EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a pivotal moment during the First Crusade, depicting the Genoa condottiero Guglielmo Embriaco in action during the capture of Jerusalem. The painting, created by Giovanni Battista Carlone between 1653 and 1655, showcases an assault tower constructed from the woods of Genoa ships. This monochrome artwork measures approximately 49x67.5 inches and is part of a private collection. Guglielmo Embriaco stands as a symbol of bravery and strategic prowess in this historical event. As a condottiero, or military leader for hire, he played a crucial role in leading his troops to victory against formidable odds. The assault tower built from Genoese ship materials exemplifies their innovative approach to warfare. The painting transports viewers back to the Middle Ages when conflicts over control of Jerusalem were at their peak. It offers insight into the intense battles fought during the First Crusade (1096-1099) and highlights Italy's significant involvement in these holy wars. Giovanni Battista Carlone's artistic talent shines through with his meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of monochrome tones. Through this piece, he immortalizes Guglielmo Embriaco's heroism while also paying homage to Italian history. This artwork serves as both an educational tool for understanding medieval warfare tactics and an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts worldwide. Its presence within a private collection ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
