EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hector on the walls of Troy" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Hector, the valiant Trojan warrior, standing proudly atop the fortified walls of his city. With spear in hand and shield at his side, Hector exudes strength and determination as he gazes out into the distance. The intricate details of his armor reflect both his status as a noble warrior and the craftsmanship of this remarkable artwork. The scene depicted here is from Homer's epic poem, The Iliad. It captures a crucial point during the infamous siege of Troy - a conflict that has fascinated historians for centuries. As we observe this image closely, we can almost feel the tension and anticipation that must have permeated those ancient walls. Originally published as an illustration for The Boys Own Annual in 1893, this digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every nuance with clarity. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its enduring appeal among art enthusiasts who value historical significance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print by Bridgeman Images courtesy of Fine Art Finder, it serves as a reminder of our fascination with history and our desire to connect with past civilizations through art.
