EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing engraving titled "Plot to Poison the Emperor Frederic II" by the American School in the 19th century. The image, found in a private collection, depicts a pivotal moment in history when a daughter conspires against her own father. The composition features a group of men and women gathered around Emperor Frederic II, who is seated with authority and unaware of the treachery unfolding before him. The atmosphere is filled with tension as the daughter, driven by unknown motives, plots to poison her own flesh and blood. This historical illustration was originally created for Evert A Duyckinck's "History of the World" published by Johnson, Wilson & Co around 1880. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, this image has been beautifully cleaned and preserved for us to appreciate today. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only the complexities of familial relationships but also how power struggles can infiltrate even those closest to us. It serves as a reminder that history is often shaped by personal ambitions and hidden agendas. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder presents this remarkable piece from their extensive collection without any commercial intentions. Let us delve into this world where betrayal meets ambition through art's powerful lens.
