EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Morte del Generale Pietro Zeno alle Smirne, 1344" transports us back to the rich history of Venice in the 14th century. Created by an anonymous Italian artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in Venetian history. The scene depicts the death of General Pietro Zeno in Smyrna (modern-day Izmir) during the year 1344. The artist's attention to detail and skillful use of line work bring this historical event to life before our eyes. We can almost feel the tension and drama as we witness this significant moment unfold. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for "Storia Veneta Espressa in Centocinquanta Tavole" (Venetian History Expressed in One Hundred Fifty Plates), published by Grimaldo in 1867. It serves as a visual representation of one chapter within this comprehensive historical account. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Venice's prominent role as a powerful maritime republic during medieval times. The city-state's influence extended far beyond its borders, reaching into distant lands like Smyrna. Through this print, we are transported back to a time when Venetians shaped European history and left their mark on countless cultures across Europe and beyond. It is a testament to both Italy's rich artistic heritage and its enduring impact on world affairs.
