EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a historic encounter between two influential figures, King Vittorio Emanuele II and Joseph Radetsky von Radetz. The meeting took place at Vignale on the 24th of March in 1849, as depicted by artist Adam Albrecht. In this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork held at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we witness a significant moment during the Risorgimento movement. King Vittorio Emanuele II was known for his role in unifying Italy and becoming its first king. On this particular day, he met Joseph Radetsky von Radetz, an Austrian soldier who had forced Venice to surrender after nearly decimating the Sardinian army at Novara. This encounter occurred just one day after Carlo Alberto's abdication. The portrait showcases both men dressed in military uniforms, symbolizing their power and authority. Their expressions reveal a sense of respect and perhaps even admiration for each other's accomplishments on the battlefield. This image serves as a reminder of the armistice agreement reached between these two prominent individuals during a crucial period in Italian history. It is through such encounters that alliances were formed and compromises made towards achieving national unity. Adam Albrecht's skillful sketching and use of watercolors bring life to this historical moment captured forever within this remarkable piece of art.
