EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor, standing before the grand walls of Paris. Known as the Roux for his fiery red hair, Otto II is visibly frustrated by his inability to penetrate the city's defenses and establish his authority within its walls. In this scene, we witness Otto II taking matters into his own hands. Determined and defiant, he walks beneath the towering fortifications with spear in hand. With every step he takes closer to the city gate, his anger intensifies. Finally reaching the door that separates him from Paris' headquarters, he forcefully plants his spear into it as a symbol of both frustration and determination. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but has skillfully captured not only Otto II's physical presence but also the emotional turmoil brewing within him. The engraving showcases intricate details such as armor-clad knights on horseback surrounding their emperor and an array of vibrant colors that add depth to this historical moment. Otto II's failed attempt at entering Paris serves as a reminder of power struggles during medieval times and highlights how even mighty emperors faced challenges in their quest for dominance. This print stands as a testament to human ambition and resilience amidst adversity – themes that continue to resonate throughout history.
