EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Giacomo Di Grassi, an esteemed Italian fencing master from the 16th century. The portrait showcases his expertise in weaponry, as he proudly displays the tools he taught his pupils to use with precision. With a hand confidently placed on his hip, Di Grassi exudes a sense of authority and mastery. Dressed in traditional attire, this image transports us back to a time when swordsmanship was not only a sport but also an essential skill for self-defense. His helmet symbolizes protection while his tunic represents the uniform of a respected professional in this field. Di Grassi's gaze looks away from the viewer, hinting at his deep knowledge and focus on honing his craft. This monochrome photograph adds depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing the seriousness with which Di Grassi approached both teaching and practicing martial arts. The print is sourced from The Connoisseur magazine edited by H. Granville Fell in London during 1936. It serves as a testament to Di Grassi's legacy that even centuries later, people continue to appreciate and study his treatise titled "Discourse on Wielding Arms with Safety". This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history while honoring one man's dedication to preserving ancient combat techniques for future generations.
