EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Expulsion of the Duke of Athens from Florence" a remarkable fresco created by Andrea di Cione, also known as Orcagna. The artwork is housed in the magnificent Palazzo Vecchio (Palazzo della Signoria) located in Florence, Italy. In this scene, we witness the dramatic moment when Walter de Brienne, the Duke of Athens, is forcefully expelled from Florence in 1343. Positioned on the far right side of the fresco, he tramples upon symbols representing justice and law while clutching an allegorical monster symbolizing treason. His presence exudes tyranny and oppression. Surrounding him are soldiers adorned in armor with banners proudly displaying emblems and insignias. Kneeling before them is St. Anne, paying homage to their authority. Angelic figures hover above, adding an ethereal touch to this powerful allegory. The composition beautifully captures the banishment of a despotic ruler who had oppressed Florentine citizens for years. It serves as a reminder that justice will prevail over tyranny and that no one can escape its consequences. Nicolo Orsi Battaglini skillfully photographed this masterpiece without compromising its integrity or historical significance. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate every intricate detail - from chainmail-clad crusaders to vibrant banners fluttering against a backdrop of grandeur within Palazzo Vecchio's walls. This print allows us to bring home a piece of art history and immerse ourselves in this
