EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a moment of intense familial and political drama in the history of Venice. The image depicts the Doge of Venice, Francesco Foscari (1373-1457), sternly facing his son Jacopo, who stands accused of corruption. It is 1445, and the Council of Ten has convened to try both father and son on charges of bribery and corruption. The weighty decision hangs in the air as Francesco Foscari confronts his own flesh and blood with a mix of disappointment, anger, and perhaps even a tinge of sorrow. The lines etched on their faces tell tales untold – stories that speak volumes about power struggles within one's own family. As justice unfolds before our eyes, it becomes clear that no man is above reproach or immune to consequences. Despite holding one of the highest positions in Venetian society as Doge, Francesco Foscari must now face an unimaginable choice: to exile his own son from their beloved city. This poignant illustration by Tancredi Scarpelli (1866-1937) captures not only a historical event but also explores themes that resonate throughout time – loyalty versus duty, love versus justice. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold great power are subject to scrutiny and accountability. Through this photograph's rich details and emotional depth, we are transported back to an era where honor clashed with personal ties; where decisions made behind closed doors reverberated through generations; where fathers were forced to pass judgment upon their sons.
