The Flagellation of Christ

Silvia Ronchey , professor of Byzantine Civilization at the University of Siena, in his book "The Enigma of Piero " argues that we need to correctly interpret this picture from " Pappuccio red " worn by Pontius Pilate. This particular bear the framework of Piero della Francesca in the right context, ie: not the real scourging of Christ, nor the assumption that the picture represents a conspiracy against Oddantonio II, but what everyone knew was in the fifteenth century of the flogging of the metaphor Constantinople under siege by Turkish part of Murad II.

Interpretation of Silvia Ronchey

article from Wikipedia . Org ref: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellazione_di_Cristo_ (Piero_della_Francesca )

For Silvia Ronchey other scholars and the board would represent the political message of John Bessarion, who opened the delegate Byzantine the Council of Ferrara and Florence of 1438 - 1439, for the reunification of Eastern and Western churches. The scourge of Christ as the distant Constantinople, which was then besieged by the Ottomans, as in a broader sense the whole of Christianity.

Left, figure with the turban who attends the scene, would be the turkish sultan, that Murad II, while Pontius Pilate should identify the ' Byzantine emperor John VIII Palaeologus seduto, con calzature color porpora , che solo gli Imperatori bizantini potevano portare in tutto l' Impero bizantino , era come un loro simbolo Imperiale, che proveniva dalla sfarzosità della porpora, colore molto costoso nell'antichità. Le tre figure sulla destra rappresenterebbero da sinistra, Bessarione , il fratello dell'Imperatore bizantino, Tommaso Paleologo (scalzo perché ancora non imperatore e quindi non poteva indossare i calzari di porpora dei Basileus ) e Niccolò III d'Este , landlord of the council. When Piero della Francesca painted the table were made in the past 20 years by the council and Constantinople was taken by the Ottomans in 1453 . Pope Pius II Piccolomini at the suggestion of Bessarion then had initiated a crusade, which the appeal but said little. Here, the board of Piero della Francesca ritrarrebbe exactly the time for discussion of this second intervention, historically occurred at a meeting called Council of Mantua (here is a possible meaning for the phrase convenerunt in unum ). Oltre al messaggio religioso egli rappresenta un tema politico attuale nell'ambiente romano dove la tavola venne probabilmente dipinta, come una specie di manifesto del ricongiungimento fra Roma e Costantinopoli, collegandosi ad altre opere, prime fra tutte la Cappella dei Magi di Palazzo Medici Riccardi a Firenze .

Calzature color porpora , che distinguevano gli Imperatori Byzantine by Westerners. This is a detail which is also found in the Tarot " Visonta Sforza" attributed to Bonifacio Bembo, the same painter who worked in the workshop of the Cremonese Bembo that the effort had commissioned by Trecchi cards Triumph . In a deck that you think before this , therefore carried out before the Council which led the Byzantines in Italy , the paper 's Emperor is very different. This emperor is identified Sigismund of Luxembourg who died Dec. 9, 1437 just before the council Ferrara Firenze . Looking at the map you will notice that like the other emperor wears a hat with the emblem of the imperial eagle has the same objects in the hands symbol of temporal power, but it has purple shoes, facts
Sigismund of Luxembourg was the emperor ' of the West.
In this site you can found that all the Byzantine emperors are represented with the " Pappuccio red" and for a further comparison also shows the Emperor's another bunch called BBV Brera - Brambilla Visconti . Again we see that the shoe is colored purple.

Cap.7 Searching for "clues"

When a clue is only a clue? For
Jessica Fletcher , star of the television series "Murder, She Wrote " there seems to rule:

is only a clue a clue ... two clues are a strange coincidence ... but three clues are more than sufficient to put us on the trail of the guilty. We share the

painting of Benozzo Gozzoli seen in the previous post, we shift the focus in the lower left, only a couple of heads from the bearded face of Giorgio Gemisto Plethon .
In which direction is Gemisto that many of the characters seem to turn our gaze, stands the figure of a young nobleman identified Sigismondo Malatesta .
The same Sigismondo Malatesta who is appointed in an official documents surfaced in the history of the Tarot .. . In 1451
Bianca Maria Visconti husband wrote to Francesco Sforza to send Sigismondo Malatesta a bunch of " those cards of triumphs that if they are in Cremona . Between 1450 and 1452 to the Treasurer of Duke's Antonio Cremona Trecchi Sforza commissioned " cards Triumph for zugare , de beautiful and ornate as you can with our arms ducal insignia et .

Reconstructing a history of so much time away, with very little documentation available to become a truly formidable.
For my part I have an idea, which originated from the assumption that "the scheme " must have inspired a person endowed with intelligence and knowledge out of the ordinary and the reading of several books on medieval history, I came to suspect that this person could be George Gemisto .

First because reported by the press describes as the greatest of the philosophers of that time, so inspired by Cosimo de Medici to found a university in his honor, even considered the equal of Plato from which indeed takes the pseudonym Plethon .
Most scholars attribute to him, just the fact that it was a great inspiration to many Renaissance humanists, the merit of being the precursor of the Italian Renaissance.

Second is because the place and time in which appeared the first deck of Triumphs with features that still survive today.
Plethon arrived in Italy, more precisely in Ferrara in 1438, scholars put the final settlement with the 22 tarot cards that correspond to modern Marseilles between 1441 - 51 by painters of northern Italy, ( the deck Visconti-Sforza attributed to Bonifacio Bembo ) right after the passage of Gemisto in Italy. (coincidence?)
Another coincidence: it seems that Plethon not returned to Constantinople with the Byzantine delegation in 1439, when the council ended, but remained in Italy probably host of Sigismondo Malatesta for another two years. I want to point out that this may be more plausible, Malatesta was related with Paleologo , emperors of Byzantium, through his cousin Cleopas, who was to Mistra student the same Gemisto . It seems that the same Sigismondo became a devout disciple of Gemisto and the best evidence is the rebuilding of the church of San Francesco a Rimin i, che dal papa Pio II fu definita Tempio Pagano e scomunicata. Altra cosa a conferma di ciò, Sigismondo prima di morire intraprese una crociata in Morea con l'intento di riportare i resti di Pletone , per poi deporli in un sarcofago centrale all' esterno dello Temple itself. (not as few connections)
Third because reading the last few things the thought of Gemisto ( the discourse on the differences between Plato and Aristotle, above all and the Treaty of virtue ) I find them very relevant to the schema. Finally, trivially, because I found other candidates in the age and in designated places could fit this role better. Nevertheless
rimango aperto alla possibilità di sbagliarmi, anche se, più continuo la ricerca e più emergano indizi puntuali e precisi a conferma della giusta direzione.
Quella che inizialmente sembrava una fantasia, sorretta da un'impalcatura un po' vacillante, è diventata incredibilmente stabile nel confronto con la scoperta di Silvia Ronchey . L'enigma di Piero libro pubblicato nel 2006 per le edizioni Bur is an impeccable historical research, arising from the interpretation of an enigmatic picture of Piero della Francesca . The Ronchey , in his book reconstructs completely the scenario that frames with the history of Tarot. More precisely, in that context, the Dr . ssa Ronchey sees a political act to save what's left of the great Byzantine Empire fell under the Turkish May 29, 1453 (audio link).
In the Tarot, as well, see the construction of a path of self-knowledge, today would call the New Age path 's lighting can be seen the same project described by Ronchey , where the last card " the world" is portrayed an ideal world, as he said Gemisto , founded on truth and not on membership of a dogmatic creed.
