This drawing by Italian artist Pietro Malombra depicts a historical event: the submission of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa to Pope Alexander III. The scene is filled with figures, including a Doge, symbolizing the complex power dynamics of the time. The work showcases Malombra's skilled use of black chalk, creating a sense of depth and detail in the figures' robes and expressions. This drawing, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the artist's 16th-century interpretation of a pivotal moment in European history.
