EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the barbarian invasions, specifically focusing on Ekkehard IV of St. Gallen (St. Gall) or Eckhard, an erudite and Latin poet from the 10th to 11th century. The image also features his brother Heribald and the Huns on the island of Reichenau. In this scene, amidst chaos and panic during the general flight, only brother Heribald remains on the island as a simple monk. Perched upon a tree trunk like a stone statue, he calmly observes the arrival of the first Hun horsemen emerging from the sea. It is reminiscent of how Roman senators once awaited Gauls in ancient times. Interestingly, these Huns are not initially surprised by Heribald's immobile presence; perhaps they have encountered similar situations before or simply perceive him as inconsequential in their conquests. The unknown artist behind this 19th-century masterpiece skillfully portrays both stillness and impending danger through their composition. The viewer is left captivated by this snapshot frozen in time – a testament to human resilience amidst turmoil and an intriguing glimpse into history's tumultuous chapters. This thought-provoking artwork now resides within a private collection but continues to evoke curiosity about Ekkehard IV's role during these turbulent times and sheds light on lesser-known figures such as his steadfast brother Heribald who chose to remain rooted even when faced with imminent danger.
