EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the war between Venice and Milan in 1438. The image depicts Niccolo Piccinino, fighting for the duchy of Milan Filippo Maria Visconti, attempting to seize the city of Brescia in Lombardy. However, it was Scaramuccia da Forli, fighting for Venice, who intervened successfully to raise the siege. Illustrated by Tancredi Scarpelli (1866-1937) from "Storia d'Italia" by Paolo Giudici in 1930, this artwork showcases Scarpelli's talent for bringing historical events to life through his detailed illustrations. The composition is rich with action and emotion as soldiers clash on the battlefield while Brescia stands defiantly in the background. The intensity of this moment is palpable as two powerful forces collide over territorial control. It serves as a reminder of how wars shape nations and individuals alike. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial turning point that ultimately determined Brescia's fate. Preserved within a private collection by Bridgeman Images' Holbarn Archive, this print offers us an opportunity to delve into history and appreciate both the artistic skill behind its creation and its significance as a visual representation of past events.
