EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Enea Silvio Piccolomini, later known as Pope Pius II, is crowned the short poet by Emperor Frederick III. Created by the talented artist Bernardino di Betto (Pinturicchio) in 1508, this detailed fresco can be found in the Piccolomini Library of the Duomo in Siena, Italy. The scene depicted here tells the story of Pius II's life. As an ambassador sent by antipope Felix V to Emperor Frederick III, he was bestowed with the title of poet under the name Aeneas Sylvius. The emperor also offered him the prestigious position of secretary. This event marked a turning point for Pius II and his literary career. The painting showcases multiple people gathered around Pius II during his coronation ceremony. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and admiration for this accomplished writer who would go on to become one of history's most influential popes. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork reflects not only religious themes but also international relations and literature during the Renaissance period. It serves as a testament to Pius II's multifaceted identity as both a spiritual leader and an esteemed writer. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this historical masterpiece through her lens, preserving it for generations to come.
