EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the infamous "pretendue" attempt of poisoning Emperor Frederick II by his former Vineyard Stone, Petrus de Vinea, in 1249. The illustration, skillfully created by Tancredi Scarpelli in 1930 for Paolo Giudici's "Storia d Italia" brings to life this intriguing historical event. Emperor Frederick II (1194-1250) was a prominent figure in Italian history, known for his political prowess and controversial reign. However, it was his relationship with Petrus de Vinea that would ultimately lead to betrayal and deception. De Vinea had once served as the emperor's trusted secretary but fell from grace due to political rivalries and accusations of corruption. In this dramatic scene captured by Scarpelli, we witness the false attempt at poisoning orchestrated by de Vinea himself. The tension is palpable as the emperor confronts his former confidant amidst an opulent backdrop. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to convey the gravity of the situation - from their intense expressions to their elaborate attire. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Italian history. It serves as a reminder of how power can corrupt even those closest to us and highlights the complexities of human relationships within politics. This remarkable print is part of Bridgeman Images' private collection and showcases both Scarpelli's artistic talent and our fascination with historical events that continue to captivate our imagination centuries later.
