EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "War of Italy (1521-1526): the Battle of Pavia (24 February 1525)", depicts a pivotal moment in history. Created by the talented artist Tancredi Scarpelli in 1930, this print showcases his exceptional attention to detail and skillful rendering. The Battle of Pavia was a fierce clash between the French troops led by Francois I and Charles V's forces on that fateful day in 1525. The outcome proved disastrous for Francois I as he suffered defeat and was taken prisoner. In an act of chivalry, Francois I handed his sword to Charles de Lannoy, symbolizing his surrender. Scarpelli's illustration perfectly captures the intensity and chaos of this historic confrontation. Every stroke brings to life the bravery and determination displayed by both sides during this significant battle. The composition highlights not only the soldiers engaged in combat but also emphasizes the capture of Francois I, adding a dramatic element to the scene. Originally featured in Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" (History of Italy), this engraving serves as a visual testament to one of Europe's great wars. It transports us back to a time when kingdoms clashed for power and dominance over Italian territories. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it reminds us not only of our shared European history but also serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict, acts of honor can still be found on both sides.
