EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of a medal depicting Alfonso V of Aragon, created by the renowned artist Pisanello. Housed in the prestigious Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, this exquisite piece showcases the artistic brilliance of the Early Renaissance period. The recto side of the medal features an eagle with outstretched wings, symbolizing power and authority. Surrounding it are delicate birds, adding a touch of grace to this regal composition. The military helmet depicted on this side signifies Alfonso's role as a formidable leader. On the verso side, we see Alfonso himself portrayed with great precision and skill. His headdress reflects his status as both a civilian and military figure, while his attire exemplifies contemporary fashion trends during that era. This portrait not only captures his physical appearance but also conveys his political influence and social standing. Alfonso V was a significant political figure in Italy during medieval times, ruling over principalities and kingdoms with great prowess. As King Emperor of Sicily and Naples, he played a crucial role in shaping European history during the first millennium AD. This photograph was taken between 1920-1930 when photography began to flourish as an art form itself. It allows us to appreciate Pisanello's masterpiece from afar while providing valuable insights into its historical context. With its fusion of early Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, this artwork represents an important transition in European art history. Its presence within Museo Nazionale del Bargello serves as a testament to its enduring significance within Italian culture. Thanks to Fratelli Alinari's expert photography skills, we can now admire this remarkable piece even if we cannot witness it firsthand at the museum itself.
