EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "In vain they sought his dead body among the slain" takes us back to a significant moment in history. This illustration, derived from H. E. Marshall's A History of Germany published in 1913, vividly depicts the aftermath of the Battle of Legnano in 1176. At the heart of this image lies Frederick I, also known as Barbarossa, who was mistakenly believed to have perished on that fateful day. The scene unfolds amidst a chaotic battlefield where soldiers and troops tirelessly search for their fallen emperor's corpse. The artist, Arthur C. Michael (d. 1945), skillfully captures the intensity and desperation etched upon their faces as they scour through piles of lifeless bodies strewn across the field. Flames flicker ominously in the background, casting an eerie glow over this haunting tableau. This artwork not only showcases Michael's talent but also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during medieval conflicts. It transports us to a time when battles were fought with swords and shields rather than modern weaponry. As we gaze upon this striking lithograph from our private collection, we are transported back to that tumultuous era—a testament to both human resilience and historical significance. Let it serve as a powerful reminder that even amid chaos and uncertainty, humanity perseveres in its quest for truth and honor.
