EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the intense fury of Marino Faliero, the Doge of Venice, as he threatens vengeance for the libelling of his beloved wife, Aluycia Gradenigo. Created by John Rogers Herbert in 1840, this print showcases a pivotal moment from Venetian history. Dressed in elaborate medieval robes befitting his high status, Faliero's anger is palpable as he confronts those who have insulted his wife. The intricate details of his costume and the Italian backdrop transport us to the heart of 14th century Venice. The artist skillfully conveys Faliero's seething rage through every line and contour. His clenched fists and furrowed brow speak volumes about his determination to seek retribution against those who have wronged him. This image evokes a sense of both power and vulnerability as we witness an esteemed leader driven by love and loyalty. Marino Faliero's story has captivated audiences throughout history; Lord Byron even wrote a play inspired by this tale. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded not only of one man's quest for justice but also of the timeless themes that continue to resonate with audiences today - betrayal, revenge, and unwavering devotion. With its rich historical context and emotional intensity, this print serves as a window into an era long past while reminding us that human emotions transcend time.
