EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Bertolomeo Colleoni: The Lion of Venice". This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic and formidable presence of Bertolomeo Colleoni (1400-1475), a legendary Venetian military commander who played a pivotal role in the Italian Wars of the 15th century. Born in Bergamo, a city then under the control of the Milanese Duchy, Colleoni rose to prominence as a condottiero, or mercenary captain, in the service of various Italian city-states. However, it was his alliance with Venice that would secure his place in history. In 1454, Colleoni led the Venetian forces to a decisive victory against the invading Austrian army at the Battle of Treviso. In recognition of his achievements, the Venetian Senate granted him the title of "Captain General of the Army of Venice" and bestowed upon him the island of San Giorgio Maggiore as a personal fief. This portrait, believed to be a likeness created during Colleoni's lifetime, showcases the commander's imposing stature and piercing gaze. The lion at his feet symbolizes his military prowess and loyalty to Venice. Colleoni's armor, adorned with the insignia of the Republic of Venice, further emphasizes his allegiance. Colleoni's military career was marked by numerous victories and alliances, making him a key figure in the political landscape of the Italian Peninsula during the Renaissance period. His legacy extends beyond the battlefield, as he is also known for his patronage of the arts, particularly in the development of the famous equestrian statue of Colleoni, which still stands in Piazza San Marco in Venice today. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who defied the traditional boundaries of power and loyalty during a time of political upheaval and war, leaving an indelible mark on the history of Venice and Italy.
