EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the tragic demise of Frederick I, also known as Frederick Barbarossa. As Holy Roman Emperor from 1152 to 1190, Frederick played a crucial role in shaping medieval Europe. However, it was on June 10th, 1190 that his life came to an untimely end. The drawing by H. Vogel showcases the fateful event when Frederick met his death by drowning in the Calycadnus (or Saleph) River in Cilicia. This incident occurred during the Third Crusade, where he led an army of men from Germany towards Jerusalem. Frederick's death marked a significant loss for both Germany and the Holy Roman Empire. His reign had been characterized by attempts to centralize power and establish imperial authority over various territories within Europe. This powerful image evokes a sense of tragedy and highlights the risks faced by crusaders during this tumultuous period. The artist's attention to detail transports us back to the twelfth century, allowing us to witness this historical event firsthand. As we reflect upon this photograph print, we are reminded of Frederick Barbarossa's enduring legacy as one of the most influential figures of medieval Europe and his unfortunate fate on that fateful day in June 1190.
