EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment, depicting the discovery of the body of Frederic Barberousse in the Selef River in 1190. Created in the late 19th century by French School, this chromo artwork showcases their mastery of chromolithography. The image transports us back to the tumultuous times of the Crusades, specifically during the Third Crusade from 1189 to 1192. Frederic Barberousse, also known as Frederick I Barbarossa, was a renowned Holy Roman Emperor who tragically drowned while crossing the Selef River on his way to Jerusalem. The composition is filled with dramatic tension and emotion as figures gather around Barberousse's lifeless body amid a picturesque river landscape. The artist skillfully uses color and light to evoke a sense of solemnity and reverence for this fallen leader. This print offers us a glimpse into history, reminding us of both triumphs and tragedies that shaped our world centuries ago. It serves as an important testament to human ambition and sacrifice during one of Europe's most turbulent periods. As we admire this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's collection, we are reminded once again that art has an extraordinary ability to transport us through time and connect us with stories long past.
