EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the frescoes in the Baronial Hall of Manta Castle, Saluzzo. Dating back to the early 15th century, this artwork by Jaquerio or Jacques Yverni depicts Valerano and Thomas III of Saluzzo in all their regal glory. Valerano, portrayed as Hector from Greek mythology's Trojan War, represents the illegitimate son of Thomas III. The attention to detail is remarkable; Valerano wears the prestigious collar of the Order of Genet bestowed upon him by King Charles VI on July 20,1411. This symbolizes his noble lineage and recognition within society. The life-sized characters are beautifully rendered against a backdrop that features a coat of arms and intricate wall paintings. The artist skillfully captures not only their physical appearance but also their personalities and status through subtle nuances in posture and expression. As we delve into this piece further, we are transported to an era characterized by chivalry and grandeur. The fashion choices reflect male attire during the Quattrocento period with elaborate costumes befitting knights. A necklace adorns Valerano's neck while he stands beside a tree trunk symbolizing strength and rootedness. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind these frescoes as well as gain insight into medieval Italian history. It serves as a testament to Giacomo Jaquerio or Jacques Yverni's talent for capturing moments frozen in time with exquisite precision.
