EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a significant political scene from medieval times. Painted by Altichiero da Zevio, this fresco titled "Political Scene" depicts Ramiro I, King of Leon, presiding over the Privy Council in Oviedo, Spain. The artwork is located in the Capella di San Giacomo in Padua, Italy. Intriguingly detailed and rich in historical context, this image showcases a pivotal moment as Ramiro I declares the commencement of the War of Liberation in Spain. The composition portrays a gothic-style court with various figures surrounding the king's throne. The seated figure of Ramiro I exudes power and authority while holding his scepter symbolically. His regal crown further emphasizes his status as ruler during this turbulent period. Surrounding him are members of his council engaged in intense discussions about matters that will shape their nation's destiny. Altichiero da Zevio skillfully brings life to these characters through intricate details and vibrant colors that adorn the walls of Capella di San Giacomo. This masterpiece serves as both an architectural marvel and a testament to Italy's artistic legacy during the trecento period. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to an era where politics intertwined with religion and monarchs held immense influence over their subjects' lives. It reminds us how history continues to shape our present-day world and invites us to reflect on past struggles for liberation and sovereignty.
