EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing historiated initial depicting the infamous Attila the Hun, known for his ruthless conquests and destructive reign. Created by the Franco-Italian School in the 15th century, this artwork is part of The War of Attila manuscript by Nicola da Casola. The scene depicted in this image portrays Attila's brutal siege on the city of Aquila during his reign from 406 to 453 AD. With great attention to detail, the artist captures the intensity and chaos as flames engulf buildings and smoke billows into the sky. This momentous event marked an important chapter in history, symbolizing Attila's power and dominance over conquered territories. The illuminated manuscript on vellum adds a touch of elegance to this dramatic portrayal. Its intricate design and vibrant colors bring life to every stroke, making it a true masterpiece that has stood the test of time. Located at Biblioteca Estense in Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy, this print offers us a glimpse into medieval times when heathen warriors like Attila ravaged ancient Rome. It serves as a reminder of our past struggles against invasion and highlights both our fascination with history and admiration for artistic expression.
