EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Philips Galle, created in 1583. The artwork depicts the grandeur and splendor surrounding the coronation of Cosimo I de Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, which took place in Rome in 1569. In this print, we see Cosimo I being welcomed back to his palace after his momentous crowning ceremony. He stands tall and regal, wearing magnificent ermine robes that befit his newfound status as ruler. Accompanied by an entourage and retinue of courtiers, musicians fill the air with joyous melodies as a drummer energetically beats on his drum. The procession is filled with celebration and merriment as courtiers and dwarfs adorned in elaborate costumes follow behind playing trumpets. The scene captures the essence of Italian royalty during this time period – opulent, vibrant, and full of life. Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus) masterfully brings this historical event to life through intricate details and skilled craftsmanship. His ability to capture both the grandeur of the occasion along with smaller nuances like facial expressions adds depth to the composition. This remarkable engraving serves as a testament to both Philips Galle's artistic talent and its significance as a historical document. It allows us to glimpse into a momentous event in Italian history while appreciating the beauty found within fine art prints such as these.
