EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when the Lombards depart for the first Crusade at the end of the 11th century. The unknown artist, in this 19th-century reconstitution, skillfully depicts a scene filled with anticipation and determination. The image showcases a group of Lombard warriors mounted on majestic horses, ready to embark on their arduous journey. They stand before an imposing castle, symbolizing both protection and departure from their homeland. The engraving beautifully portrays each individual's emotions as they prepare to face unknown challenges ahead. As we delve into history through this medium-age masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when castles dotted the landscape and fortifications were essential for survival. This Italian artwork immerses us in Lombardy's rich cultural heritage and its significant role in shaping medieval Europe. The presence of animals adds another layer of realism to this composition. Horses stand tall beside their riders, representing strength and companionship during these perilous times. Livestock graze peacefully nearby, reminding us that life continues even amidst great upheaval. Stefano Bianchetti expertly brings together all these elements to create an evocative portrayal of a pivotal chapter in human history - the first Crusade. Through his artistry, he invites us to reflect upon our own journeys and how they shape our destinies. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is a window into a bygone era that still resonates with relevance today.
