EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Frederick Barbarossa drowning in the River Saleph on the Third Crusade, 1190" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by Hermann Vogel in 1880, this print depicts the tragic demise of Frederick Barbarossa, Holy Roman Emperor and leader of the German forces during the Third Crusade. In this scene from medieval times, we witness an army crossing a turbulent river as they embark on their holy mission. The image is filled with historical significance and symbolism as it captures not only the perils faced by crusaders but also the power struggles within Europe during that era. The central focus of this artwork is Emperor Frederick Barbarossa himself. Mounted on his horse, he valiantly leads his troops across the treacherous waters. However, fate has other plans for him as he succumbs to a tragic end - drowning in the torrential currents of River Saleph. Vogel's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life. From soldiers struggling against nature's might to horses desperately trying to stay afloat, every element conveys a sense of chaos and impending doom. Through this engraving, we are reminded of both the bravery and vulnerability inherent in human endeavors. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders can meet their untimely demise while pursuing noble causes. This piece stands as a testament to Vogel's artistic skill and ability to capture significant moments from our past. As viewers gaze upon it today, they are transported back through time into one of history's most dramatic chapters – where emperors clashed with kings and lives were lost amidst grand quests for glory and faith.
