Robert of Normandy at the Castle of the Count of Conversano, c1890 - A Glimpse into Medieval Alliances and Romance
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 11th century, capturing a historic moment in time. Here we see Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy (c1051-1134), negotiating his marriage to Sybilla of Conversano, daughter of Geoffrey of Brindisi, Count of Conversano. The image showcases an enchanting castle exterior in Apulia, Italy. The fortification stands tall against the backdrop as if guarding their secret rendezvous. Robert appears on horseback with an escort by his side; he exudes power and authority befitting his noble status. His hunting dog faithfully follows him through this important negotiation. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into medieval architecture but also highlights the significance of alliances during that era. It symbolizes the merging powers between France and England as well as Christianity's influence on political affairs. The unknown creator has masterfully captured this historical moment from Cassells Illustrated History of England with great attention to detail. The engraving technique used adds depth and texture to every element within the frame. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time – witnessing a crucial chapter in European history where love and diplomacy intertwine amidst grand castles and majestic horses.
