EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration by Tancredi Scarpelli, we witness a chilling moment from history. Lombard king Alboin, known for his ruthless nature, forces his wife, the gepid princess Rosemonde, to partake in a macabre ritual at a grand banquet held in Verona, Italy. The scene is set with an eerie ambiance as Alboin presents Rosemonde with a cup formed from the skull of his own father, Cunimond. The image captures the power dynamics and brutality that characterized medieval times. Alboin's act symbolizes dominance and control over Rosemonde as he compels her to drink from this grotesque vessel. It serves as a stark reminder of the subjugation women faced during this era. Scarpelli's attention to detail brings life to this historical event. From the expressions on their faces to the intricate design of the cup itself, every element adds depth and emotion to the scene. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow further enhances its dramatic impact. This haunting illustration is taken from Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" (History of Italy), published in 1930. Preserved within private collections today, it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to humanity's dark past. As we gaze upon this print captured by Bridgeman Images' Holbarn Archive, we are reminded of our collective history – one filled with triumphs and tragedies alike – urging us never to forget how far we have come while inspiring us towards progress for all humankind.
