EDITORS COMMENTS
La Crónica de Troya: en la que se contiene la total y amentable destrucción de la famosa ciudad de Troya" (Chronicle of Troy: in which is contained the total and pitiful destruction of the famous city of Troy), painted by Guido delle Colombe in 1545, is a captivating miniature masterpiece housed in the National Library of Madrid. This Gothic artpiece depicts the climactic moments of the Trojan War, a legendary conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans, as described in Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid. The image portrays the siege and assault on the city of Troy, with Greek soldiers relentlessly attacking the city walls, while Trojan defenders valiantly fight back. Smoke rises from the city, signaling the destruction that unfolds within. The fall of Troy, a pivotal moment in ancient mythology, is beautifully captured in this intricate and detailed painting. Guido delle Colombe, an Italian painter active in Seville, Spain, skillfully depicts the chaos and intensity of the battle scene. The use of vibrant colors, intricate details, and dynamic compositions are characteristic of the Gothic art style, which flourished during the late Middle Ages in Europe. This miniature painting, with its rich history and artistic merit, offers a glimpse into the epic tale of the Trojan War and the destruction of the once-great city of Troy. It is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and the artistic vision of its creators. The painting, "La crónica de Troya," is a valuable addition to the National Library of Madrid's collection, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of Spain and the broader European tradition. It continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details, vivid colors, and powerful narrative, making it a must-see for anyone interested in mythology, history, or the art of the Gothic period.
