EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored illustration captures the regal presence of Mastino II della Scala, lord of Verona from 1308 to 1351. Dressed in a very ornate suit of chainmail and armor, he exudes power and authority with his helm surmounted by a dog's head and wings. The intricate details of his attire, including a buckler, lance, saddle, greaves, spurs, tunic, and horse's caparison embroidered in gold with his coat of arms - a ladder on a blue field - showcase his wealth and status.
The image is reminiscent of a statue on Mastino II's tomb, highlighting the historical accuracy portrayed by artist Paul Mercuri and writer Camille Bonnard in their work for Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860. This piece not only serves as an artistic representation but also as a valuable historical document providing insight into the fashion and armor worn during this period.
Mastino II della Scala's legacy lives on through this exquisite print that captures the essence of medieval nobility. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture that shaped Verona during his reign.
