EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking engraved illustration from the early 19th century, The outlaw John Parricida seeks refuge in a monastery in Pisa, Italy. Depicted with a look of desperation and anxiety, Parricida is shown fleeing his past as an assassin after killing his uncle, King Albert I of Germany. According to historical records, this event took place in the year 1308.
Parricida's story is one of intrigue and betrayal. As the son of Rudolf II, Duke of Austria, he was expected to follow in his father's footsteps as a nobleman. However, after murdering King Albert I out of jealousy and ambition, Parricida found himself forced into hiding from those seeking revenge.
This engraving captures the moment when Parricida sought solace within the walls of a Pisan monastery. The artist has masterfully conveyed the sense of urgency and fear that must have gripped this notorious outlaw as he navigated his treacherous circumstances. A powerful testament to the enduring allure of historical drama, this image invites us to step into the shoes of Parricida and ponder what drives individuals down paths both noble and nefarious.
