EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a significant moment in history, showcasing the renowned Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. In 1158, the inhabitants of Lodi beseeched him to rebuild their beloved city after it had been ruthlessly destroyed by the Milanese. The image captures Barbarossa seated atop his majestic horse, surrounded by a group of grateful Italians. The artist, Tancredi Scarpelli (1866-1937), skillfully brings this historical event to life with intricate details and vibrant colors. This particular illustration was created for Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" (Nerbini, 1930), offering readers a visual representation of this remarkable episode. Frederick Barbarossa's presence exudes authority and compassion as he listens attentively to the pleas of the Lodi inhabitants. His willingness to assist them in rebuilding their cherished city showcases his commitment to his subjects' well-being and highlights his role as a revered leader during that era. This photograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into Italian history and European politics at that time. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of both Frederick Barbarossa and the people of Lodi who sought solace in their emperor's benevolence. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job preserving this piece from Tancredi Scarpelli's collection for future generations to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
