EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 15th century, immersing us in a scene of intense warfare. The image depicts Crusaders launching a fierce attack on a Moorish fortress, showcasing the tumultuous clash between two opposing forces. Painted by an unknown artist during this era, the miniature artwork is housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence, Italy. The composition exudes dynamism and tension as horsemen clad in armor charge towards their adversaries. The battlefield is filled with human figures engaged in combat, highlighting the brutality and chaos of medieval warfare. Amidst this turmoil, horses gallop fearlessly into battle while knights wield their weapons with determination. This illustration originally accompanied the Tuscan poem "Febusso e Breusso" found within Manuscript MS. B. R. 45 from 15th century Florence's Nazionale Biblioteca. It serves as a visual representation of the epic narrative contained within those pages. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork also offers insights into religious conflicts during that time period. With references to both Muslim and Christian faiths through depictions of Moors and Crusaders respectively, it reflects upon themes of religion and spirituality prevalent during these turbulent times. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured every detail of this remarkable piece through her photography expertise. Through her lens, we are transported back to an age where battles were fought not only for territorial conquest but also for ideological supremacy.
