1380 Amedeo Institutes Order Ruler Savoy Annunziata
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in Italian history as Amedeo VI, also known as Amedeo the Just, institutes the Order of the Annunziata in Turin, Italy, circa 1380. Amedeo VI, the ruler of Savoy, is depicted in regal attire, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, surrounded by a group of distinguished men. The occasion marks the creation of the prestigious Order of the Annunziata, a religious and chivalric order dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the Annunciation. The Order of the Annunziata, also known as the Order of the Collar, was one of the most esteemed orders in the medieval world, with membership limited to the most noble and influential figures of the time. The collar, a symbol of the order, is visible on the necks of the men in the image, adding an air of solemnity and importance to the scene. This historical event took place during a time of great change in Europe, as the Middle Ages gave way to the Renaissance. The establishment of the Order of the Annunziata reflected the growing influence of the Savoy family in Italian politics and the broader European scene. The order would continue to play a significant role in Italian history for centuries to come, with members including kings, popes, and other powerful figures. The intricate details of the image, from the rich textures of the robes to the expressive faces of the men, transport us back to a time of grandeur and ceremony, offering a glimpse into the past and the complex web of power, religion, and chivalry that shaped European history.
