EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Medallion of Alfonso V Aragon, King of Naples and Sicily, created by the renowned artist Pisanello in the 15th century. The medallion features a striking depiction of Alfonso V as an intrepid hunter, with the inscription "Venator intrepidus" meaning "The intrepid hunter". Alfonso V was a powerful ruler who reigned over Naples from 1416 and later expanded his kingdom to include Sicily in 1442. This medallion symbolizes his dedication, determination, and fortitude as he faced numerous adversaries during his reign. The bronze artwork portrays a young lad bravely attacking an imposing boar with a loyal hound by his side. With great skill and precision, Pisanello captures every detail - from the gnawing teeth of the dog to the challenging gaze of Alfonso V. The geometric shape adds to its artistic appeal while emphasizing tradition and folklore associated with hunting in medieval times. The close-up view allows us to appreciate Pisanello's mastery in capturing human expressions and animal movements. This square image serves as both an illustration and painting that immortalizes Alfonso V as a legendary sovereign known for his bravery on the battlefield. It is truly remarkable how this object has survived through centuries, reminding us of our rich history. As we admire this print today, we are transported back to the early 15th century when kings ruled with strength and courage against their foes. It is a testament to human creativity that such art media can continue to inspire awe even after so many years have passed since its creation.
