EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant historical moment, depicting the encounter between Charles VIII and the dying Gian Galeazzo Sforza in Pavia Castle. Painted by Palagi, Pelagio in 1816-18, this oil on canvas artwork measures 118x189 cm and is currently housed at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome, Italy.

The image showcases an intimate meeting taking place within the confines of a bedroom adorned with exquisite furnishings and beds. The painting beautifully reflects the Renaissance period's artistic style prevalent during the 15th century.

Charles VIII's presence exudes friendship and empathy as he stands beside Gian Galeazzo Sforza's bed. This encounter symbolizes not only political diplomacy but also human connection amidst challenging circumstances.
