EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Cesare Borgia, the renowned Italian military leader of the 15th and 16th centuries. The portrait captures his commanding presence and enigmatic personality. As the son of Pope Alexander VI, Cesare Borgia held immense power and authority, leading the papal armies from 1497 onwards. His ruthless reputation earned him a place in history as the epitome of a new kind of ruler, inspiring Niccolò Machiavelli to reference him as the ideal Prince. This particular photograph is part of "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book featuring cigarette-card portrait miniatures that depict influential figures from world history over four centuries. Taken in Germany in 1933, this image offers a glimpse into an era marked by political turmoil and societal change. Despite being captured on a miniature cigarette card, Cesare Borgia's impact on Italy and beyond was anything but small. The unknown creator behind this striking portrait has skillfully portrayed Borgia's charisma while emphasizing his infamous status. Through this monochrome depiction, we are transported back to an age when men like Cesare Borgia shaped nations with their military prowess and cunning strategies. This print serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic representation of one of Italy's most intriguing leaders. It invites us to delve deeper into Cesare Borgia's complex character while appreciating the craftsmanship involved in capturing his essence on such a small scale.
