EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Peter IV of Aragon, also known as Peter the Ceremonious (1319-1387), a significant monarch in the 14th century European history. Peter ruled as King of Aragon, Sardinia, and Corsica (as Peter I), King of Valencia (as Peter II), and Count of Barcelona (and the rest of the Principality of Catalonia as Peter III). The intricately detailed image showcases Peter on horseback, dressed in regal attire and wearing a helmet adorned with the Bars and House of Aragon's heraldry. During his reign, Peter played a crucial role in the conquest of Majorca from the Muslims in 1344. He is also known for his efforts to strengthen feudalism and centralize the monarchy in Aragon. The scene captures Peter's majesty and military prowess, with him holding a shield and sword, ready for battle. The engraving, which dates back to 1883, is now part of the Museo Militar's collection and has undergone later coloration to enhance its visual appeal. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Middle Ages, showcasing the grandeur of monarchy, the power of the horse, and the intricate details of heraldry during this period.
