EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic portrait of Sigismondo Malatesta, a prominent figure from the Renaissance era. Painted by Francesca, Piero della in oil on panel, this artwork measures 44 x 34 cm and is currently housed at the Louvre in Paris, France. Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta was not only a celebrated Italian condottiero and military leader but also an influential patron of architects and artists during his time. Known for commanding the Venetian army against the Ottoman Empire in a successful campaign in 1465, he earned himself the nickname "The Wolf of Rimini" (Il Lupo di Rimini). This epithet speaks to his fierce leadership skills and strategic prowess on the battlefield. Beyond his military achievements, Sigismondo was also recognized as a poet and had an affinity for supporting talented individuals within various artistic disciplines. Architects such as Alberti and artists like Piero and Agostino di Duccio were among those fortunate enough to receive his patronage. In this striking profile portrait, we catch a glimpse of Sigismondo's enigmatic persona. His piercing gaze reflects both strength and intelligence while embodying the spirit of Renaissance ideals. This print serves as a testament to Sigismondo's enduring legacy as one of Italy's most intriguing historical figures.
