EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Vettore Pisani, the Valiant Venetian Admiral (1324-1380)" This evocative handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, transports us back to the 14th century and the Mediterranean world of the Venetian Republic. The subject of this image is Vettore Pisani, a renowned Venetian admiral who played a pivotal role in the political and military landscape of the Mediterranean during the late Middle Ages. Born in 1324, Vettore Pisani hailed from a noble Venetian family. He rose to prominence during the turbulent period of the Avignon Papacy, when the papacy was based in Avignon, France, instead of Rome. Pisani's military prowess and diplomatic skills were crucial in maintaining Venice's influence in the eastern Mediterranean, particularly during the conflict with Genoa for control of the Aegean Sea. In this illustration, Pisani is depicted in the regal attire of a Venetian admiral. He wears a rich, velvet robe, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a fur-trimmed mantle. A golden doge's hat sits atop his head, signifying his high rank. In his hand, he holds a scepter, symbolizing his authority. His expression is resolute, reflecting the determination and courage that earned him the respect and loyalty of his fellow Venetians. The meticulously detailed illustration, produced by Paul Mercuri and Camille Bonnard for their seminal work "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries," published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860, offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulent world of the Venetian admiralty during the late Middle Ages. This exquisite image not only captures the essence of Vettore Pisani's historical significance but also serves as a testament to the artistic mastery of its creators.
