EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal figure of Alfonso V of Aragon, a prominent ruler during the 15th century. Known as Alfonso the Magnanimous, he held titles such as King of Naples and Sicily, as well as Count of Barcelona. The image captures his dignified presence with intricate details that highlight his aristocratic status. The artwork, created by Antonio di Puccio da Cereto, also known as Pisanello, reflects the artist's mastery in capturing both physical features and personality through his brushstrokes. Alfonso is depicted wearing a magnificent suit of armor and an ornate helmet adorned with delicate engravings. Inscribed on this circular medallion are Latin texts that further emphasize Alfonso's royal lineage and achievements. The gothic style lettering adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of this piece. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this photograph print allows viewers to appreciate not only Pisanello's artistic talent but also serves as a window into history. It offers us a glimpse into leisure activities popular among nobility during that era - specifically board games like chess which were enjoyed by men from all walks of life. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, let us be reminded of Alfonso V's significant contributions to European history and how art can immortalize great individuals for generations to come.
