EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of Nicopolis, where Christians suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of Bayazid I of Turkey on September 28th, 1396. Created by an unknown artist in the 14th century, this image is part of "Croniche del Sercambi" housed in the National Archive in Lucca, Italy. The artwork showcases intricate details and vibrant colors through its illuminations and miniatures. It depicts the clash between Christian and Turkish forces during this significant conflict that shaped the course of Christendom's history. The composition highlights the intensity and chaos of battle as soldiers engage with weapons raised high. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to a time when religion played a central role in shaping political alliances and conflicts. The defeated Christians stand as symbols of resilience amidst adversity while Bayazid I's victorious army represents power and dominance. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured this piece for us to appreciate its artistic value while also reminding us of the complex dynamics that unfolded during medieval times. This photograph serves as a window into our shared past, allowing us to reflect on how religious differences have influenced human history throughout centuries.
