"From ancient Egypt to imperial Rome, illustrations of stories were used to decorate domestic and public spaces … And then came pictorial tapestries of silk and wool, which were hung in palaces in northern Europe, but also in Italy. These tapestries expressed the wealth and luxury of the Flemish Renaissance … One of the great theaters of these conflicts was the Battle of Pavia, which entered into political legend and military history thanks to the use of the newest technical inventions of the time, thereby transforming the art of warfare". [Eike Schmidt] "The comic strip is grounded in the imagery of film, the sequence, and that's why this format is so appropriate for a reimagining of the seven tapestries known as the d'Avalos tapestry series. It recounts one of the most important military and political events of European history: the Battle of Pavia, when the two greatest kings of the time, Charles V and François I, engaged in battle". [Sylvain Bellenger] sales notes The volume has been created in collaboration with the Italian school of Comix, in occasion of the exhibition "Art & War in the Renaissance. The Battle of Pavia Tapestries" curated by Sylvain Bellenger, Carmine Romano e Antonio Tosini.
