EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 15th century, immersing us in a scene of warfare and valor. The image depicts a formidable warship sailing through treacherous waters, manned by soldiers armed with an array of weapons. These brave warriors stand tall on the deck, ready to defend their vessel against any threat that may arise. The soldiers are adorned in medieval armor, their faces determined and resolute. Crossbows and arrows are held firmly in their hands, poised for action. Shields protect them from incoming projectiles while spears provide them with both offense and defense. This drawing is taken from "De re Militari" a renowned military treatise written by engineer Roberto Valturio during this era. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and strategic thinking prevalent at the time. The artist behind this masterpiece is Matteo di Andrea de Pasti, whose attention to detail brings life to each stroke of his pen or brush. Through his skillful rendering, we can almost hear the clash of swords and feel the adrenaline coursing through these courageous men's veins. As we gaze upon this historical gem preserved within Biblioteca Capitolare in Padua, Italy, we cannot help but marvel at humanity's enduring spirit even amidst conflict. This artwork stands as a reminder of our ancestors' unwavering determination and sacrifice for what they believed in – values that continue to shape our world today.
