EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the death of King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy on January 9,1878. In this solemn scene, the king is seen receiving the extreme anointing of his hands by Canon Anzino in the mortuary chamber. The room is filled with a sense of reverence and mourning as future King Humbert I and his wife, Princess Marguerite of Savoy, stand by their beloved monarch's side. The engraving, featured in "Le Monde Illustre" nA'1085 on January 19,1878, beautifully portrays this poignant ritual. The black and white composition adds to its historical significance and evokes a somber atmosphere. King Victor Emmanuel II was widely regarded as one of Italy's most influential leaders. His reign marked a pivotal period for Italian unification and he played a crucial role in establishing modern Italy as we know it today. This image serves as both a testament to the power and legacy of Victor Emmanuel II and also reminds us that even great rulers must face mortality. It invites viewers to reflect upon the fleeting nature of life while honoring the memory of this iconic figure from Italian history. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful capture allows us to witness this intimate moment frozen in time - forever preserving the final moments of an extraordinary ruler who left an indelible mark on his nation.
