EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the recto and verso of a magnificent medal featuring the effigy of Alfonso V of Aragon, created by the renowned artist Pisanello. Housed in the prestigious National Museum of the Bargello in Florence, this exquisite piece is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Early Renaissance period. The photograph, taken around 1920-1930, beautifully captures both sides of this remarkable medal. On one side, we see an intricately detailed scene depicting a hunting expedition. The inscription and writing on this side suggest its use as a communication instrument during that era. A loyal dog accompanies Alfonso V as he engages in terrestrial mammal hunting, specifically targeting wild boars. Turning to the other side reveals an astonishing portrait of Alfonso V himself. Dressed in regal attire befitting his noble status, his fashion choices reflect both contemporary clothing styles and hairdos popular during that time. As a prominent political figure and ruler during Europe's first millennium, Alfonso V's presence on this medal signifies his significant role within society and politics. Pisanello's masterful artistry shines through every detail captured by Fratelli Alinari's lens. The combination of Renaissance-Baroque styles further enhances its aesthetic appeal while showcasing Europe's cultural evolution during these periods. As you gaze upon this extraordinary print from Alinari, allow yourself to be transported back in time to witness not only Pisanello's genius but also appreciate how art can encapsulate history itself.
