EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bartolomeo Pinelli's masterpiece, "The Horatii and the Curiatii". The artwork, housed in a private collection, beautifully captures an iconic moment from ancient Roman history. Pinelli's illustration was created as part of Alfred J Church's book, "Stories from Livy" published by Seeley in 1895. It vividly depicts the legendary battle between two sets of triplets: the Horatii and the Curiatii. This historical event is deeply rooted in Latin literature and has become synonymous with bravery and sacrifice. The composition exudes a sense of tension and anticipation as three members from each family stand ready to engage in combat for their respective cities. The Romans, represented by the Horatii brothers on one side, face off against their rivals, the Curiatii brothers from Alba Longa. Through his masterful brushwork, Pinelli brings this ancient tale to life with intricate details that transport viewers back to ancient Rome. The expressions on each character's face reveal determination mixed with trepidation as they prepare for what will undoubtedly be a brutal clash. "The Horatii and the Curiatii" serves as a powerful reminder of Rome's rich history and its enduring legacy. This print not only celebrates Pinelli's artistic prowess but also pays homage to an important chapter in Roman civilization that continues to captivate audiences today.
