EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Death of Roland" from a Venetian Codex, dating back to the 14th century. The artwork, created by an anonymous Italian artist, is housed in the prestigious Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy. In this medieval masterpiece, we witness the tragic demise of Roland, a semi-legendary hero immortalized in song and tale. Clad in shining armor and surrounded by courtly figures, he valiantly fights against Saracens during the Battle of Roncesvalles in 778 AD. The scene is filled with dramatic intensity as angels descend from above to accompany Roland on his final journey. Their ethereal presence adds a touch of otherworldliness to this poignant moment. Meanwhile, horses gallop fiercely across the battlefield, symbolizing both strength and vulnerability amidst chaos. This vellum manuscript offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when chivalry reigned supreme and tales of heroic deeds were cherished. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through art. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time - immersed in an epic narrative that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
