EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Siege of Alessandria Begins" takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a pivotal moment of history. The image showcases the baroque era's grandeur with its intricate details and dramatic composition. In this scene, we witness an advancing army led by Francesco I d'Este, Duke of Modena, as they prepare to besiege Alessandria in Piedmont, Italy. The etching beautifully captures the intensity and determination on the faces of the men marching on horseback towards their destination. Bartolomeo Fenice masterfully depicts not only the military aspect but also incorporates elements that add depth to the image. A riverbank frames one side of the composition while flags flutter proudly above them. These symbols represent both country and royalty, emphasizing their significance during this time. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; even animals are present within this historical narrative. Horses play a crucial role as they carry these brave soldiers into battle. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Art Museum collection, we can't help but feel transported to another time. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and pays homage to those who fought for their beliefs centuries ago.
