EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in Venetian history. The scene portrays Obizzo da Polenta, the Lord of Ravenna, on his deathbed, entrusting his son Ostasio III to the care of the Republic of Venice in 1432. This poignant image is part of a series illustrating "Storia Veneta Espressa in Centocinquanta Tavole" (Grimaldo, 1867), which chronicles the rich history of Venice. The artist skillfully captures the emotions and gravity of this pivotal event. The somber atmosphere is palpable as Obizzo da Polenta imparts his final wishes for his beloved son's future. The intricate details and delicate lines showcase the talent and precision of Italian School engravers. Venice, known for its historical significance and grandeur, takes center stage in this artwork. It serves as a reminder of the city's prominent role within Italy and Europe during that era. The image invites viewers to reflect on Venetian culture and its influence on European politics.
