EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor print depicts a page from the military engineering treatise "De re militari" by Roberto Valturio, created between 1446 and 1455. The Italian military engineer and writer from Veneto, Padua, penned this seminal work during the Renaissance period, providing a comprehensive guide on military architecture, fortifications, and siege warfare. The image showcases Valturio's innovative design for a chariot of war, a mobile fortification system. The chariot is intricately detailed, with multiple levels, battlements, and a drawbridge. Soldiers man the ramparts, while others prepare to launch arrows and other projectiles from the battlements. The chariot's design allowed for quick deployment and mobility, making it a formidable addition to medieval warfare. The 1470 edition of "De re militari" is renowned for its beautiful illuminations, and this watercolor print is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the chariot to life, offering a glimpse into the military strategies and innovations of the medieval age. This watercolor print is a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the military engineering and warfare tactics of the Renaissance period. It is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of Roberto Valturio and the artistic mastery of the Veneto region during this time.
