Chronicle Delle Guido Plundering Trojan Troy
FEATURES IN THESE COLLECTIONS
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration depicts the first plundering of Troy, an iconic moment from the epic Trojan War. The image, created in the Gothic style, is a miniature masterpiece from the Chronicle of Guido de Cromberger, a 15th-century Spanish manuscript. The illustration captures the chaos and destruction of the sack of Troy, with Greek soldiers storming through the gates of the once impregnable city. The Trojans, caught off guard, are shown fleeing in terror, their possessions scattered haphazardly on the ground. In the foreground, Greek warriors can be seen triumphantly hoisting the famous Palladium statue, believed to protect Troy, as a symbol of their victory. The intricate details of the illustration, from the ornate armor of the soldiers to the expressive faces of the figures, reveal the skill and artistry of the artist. This vertical composition not only captures the dynamic energy of the scene but also underscores the sense of scale and grandeur. Housed in the National Library of Spain, this illustration is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the stories of history.
