Barbarossa's Escape over the Alps - A Humorous Alpine Expedition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this comical engraving titled "Barbarossa's Escape over the Alps" artist Arthur Moreland takes us on a lighthearted journey through history. The artwork, originally created as an illustration for "The History of the Hun" depicts the amusing escape of Barbarossa, also known as Frederick I, from his enemies. Set against a backdrop of snow-covered alpine slopes, we see Barbarossa and his fellow Huns embarking on their daring expedition. Riding toboggans and armed with shields, they navigate their way through the treacherous mountain terrain with both determination and humor. As they race down the mountainside towards safety in Bavaria, we catch glimpses of Lombards and Welfs in hot pursuit. Despite being chased by punitive forces, Barbarossa's escape is portrayed in an entertaining manner that brings smiles to our faces. This whimsical scene captures not only historical elements but also showcases Moreland's talent for combining history with comedy. The artist skillfully infuses every detail with wit and charm – from the exaggerated expressions on characters' faces to their unconventional mode of transportation. With its blend of Germanic folklore and slapstick humor, "Barbarossa's Escape over the Alps" offers viewers a delightful glimpse into a momentous event presented in an entertaining light. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and danger, there is room for laughter and amusement.
