EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable fresco titled "The Oath of Marcus Atilius Regulus (Il giuramento di Marco Attilio Regolo)" by Domenico Beccafumi. Painted between 1524 and 1530, this masterpiece depicts a significant moment in Roman history during the first Punic War. In the image, we witness Marcus Atilius Regulus, a Roman consul, taking an oath before the Carthaginians. He solemnly swears that if he fails to secure peace in the Roman Senate, he will willingly return to Carthage. This powerful gesture demonstrates his unwavering commitment to achieving cessation of hostilities. Beccafumi's skillful brushwork brings this historical event to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. The fresco measures approximately 1.00x1.30 meters and is housed in Palazzo Casini Casuccini in Siena, Italy. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment where honor and duty collide on the grand stage of ancient Rome. The intensity captured within every stroke serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Marcus Atilius Regulus for their beliefs and their nation. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance of Beccafumi's work while preserving its timeless beauty for generations to come. This print stands as a testament not only to artistic mastery but also as an homage to history itself – reminding us that even centuries later, these stories continue to inspire awe and admiration.
