VICTORY OF THE VERONESE OVER THE GARDESANS \u2013 ANTEDATING VERONA\u2019S AUTONOMY<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBattaglia e Vittoria Riportata tra Sermione e Rivoltella alla Villa Arriga da Veronesi l\u2019anno 849 sopra que della Rivera di Salo<\/em><\/strong>\u201c (Battle and victory achieved between Sirmione and Rivoltella at Villa Arriga by the Veronese in the year 849 along the shores of Lake Garda near the Sal\u00f2 area). Drawing in sepia and engraving, both made at the end of the 18th century<\/strong> by Gaetano Zancon<\/strong> after a painting by Felice Riccio<\/strong><\/a> (Brusasorzi)<\/strong> (1542-1605). Size (each): 29,3 x 65,3 cm.<\/p>\n

The depicted scene marks the first triumph of the city of Verona. Two coats of arms spot the Veronese troops: the Palazzo di Teodorico<\/a> on the left standard and the Veronese flag in the center which is being waved as a sign of victory over the rebelling Gardesans.<\/p>\n

Brusasorzi\u2019s (very large) painting was commissioned in 1595 to celebrate the illustrious deeds and fortunate events of the city and now (since 1950) hangs in Palazzo Barbieri<\/a>, the town hall of Verona.<\/p>\n

The historical context to which the scene refers, a mere invention, is that of the autonomy of the Garda<\/a> judiciary in the Carolingian era<\/a>. According to the story that emerged in late-sixteenth-century Verona, in the mid-ninth century, a revolt of the Garda populations, previously subject to Verona, would have occurred. Veronese forces would have suppressed the revolt, and during this war, they supposedly adopted the new city emblem, a yellow cross on a blue field (waved in the centre of the scene), replacing the red cross on a white field. In fact, the replacement of the emblems dates back to 1259-60. The first manifestation of the autonomy and awareness of the city commune is thus antedated four centuries earlier. The specific objective is evidently to emphasize the original subjection of the Garda territory to the city, challenging the autonomy and privileges that the communities of that territory (especially those along the shore, constituting the so-called \u201cGardesana dell\u2019Acqua<\/em>\u201d) had consistently claimed during the Venetian era in which the painting was made.<\/p>\n

The fact that Geatano Zancon (1771-1816) copied the painting two hundred years later, suggests that the triumph of Verona continued to be a remarkable event -whether fiction or not- that should make every Veronese proud. Here we have both the engraving as well as Zancon\u2019s original drawing after the painting (which he needed to make the engraving).<\/p>\n

Price: Euro 1.250,- (for both the drawing and the engraving)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
