EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the 14th century "Roman de Troy" manuscript, housed in the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice. Painted by an unknown artist of that time, it depicts an army on horseback approaching a majestic castle. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this illuminated miniature bring to life the intensity and grandeur of medieval warfare. The composition showcases a strategic bridge over a flowing river, symbolizing the crucial crossing point for both defenders and invaders. The knights charge forward with determination, their armor glinting in the sunlight as they prepare for battle. The towering castle stands as a formidable fortress, its walls representing strength and protection against any adversary. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of military might but also offers insight into the architectural marvels of fortifications during the Middle Ages. It reminds us of how castles were more than just dwellings; they were symbols of power and control. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness history unfold before our eyes. It is a testament to human resilience and ingenuity during times when conflicts shaped nations. Giancarlo Costa's skillful capture ensures that this extraordinary moment remains immortalized for generations to come.
