EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration by Tancredi Scarpelli takes us back in time to the tumultuous events of 711, during the Byzantine emperor Justinian II's campaign known as "The Bag of Ravenna". The artist skillfully captures the intensity and drama of this historical moment. In this scene, we witness the ruthless actions of Justinian II as he leads his forces into Ravenna. The city is depicted in chaos, with buildings ablaze and people fleeing in fear. Archbishop Felix of Ravenna stands at the center, a symbol of resistance against the invading emperor. Scarpelli's attention to detail brings life to every element within this composition. From the intricate architecture to the expressions on each character's face, there is a sense of urgency and desperation that permeates throughout. "The Bag of Ravenna" serves as a reminder of power struggles and conflicts that have shaped history. It highlights how even religious figures were not immune from political turmoil during these times. Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" provides further context for this gripping image. Preserved within private collections, it offers invaluable insights into Italy's rich past. Bridgeman Images' inclusion allows us to appreciate this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder while acknowledging its significance beyond commercial use. As we gaze upon Scarpelli's illustration, we are transported back centuries ago - witnessing an event etched forever in history books.
