EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Mutius Scoevola before Lars Porsenna" transports us back to ancient Rome, immersing us in a pivotal moment of history. Created by Bartolomeo Pinelli in the early 19th century, this artwork captures an intense scene from Livy's stories. The image depicts Mutius Scoevola standing fearlessly before Lars Porsenna, a powerful Etruscan king. The composition is filled with tension as we witness the confrontation between these two historical figures. With his hand thrust into a blazing fire, Mutius Scoevola displays unwavering bravery and loyalty to Rome. Pinelli's skillful rendering brings every detail to life - from the intricate folds of their garments to the expressions etched on their faces. The artist's attention to historical accuracy allows us to truly immerse ourselves in this ancient world. This print was originally created as an illustration for Alfred J Church's book "Stories from Livy" published in 1895. It serves as a visual representation of one of Livy's tales about Roman heroism and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the rich tapestry that is Roman history - its triumphs and struggles, its heroes and villains. This print not only showcases Pinelli's artistic talent but also invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating world of ancient Rome.
