EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate frieze on the Pillar of the Grotta del Cardinale, an engraving created by an English School artist in the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured in George Dennis' renowned book, "The Cities and Cemeteries of Etruria" published in London in 1848. The image depicts gladiators engaged in intense combat, capturing a moment frozen in time within the ancient Etruscan necropolis fresco. The fighters are locked in a fierce struggle, their bodies contorted with determination as they confront each other head-on. Horses can also be seen nearby, adding to the dynamic energy of the scene. This photograph transports us back to a bygone era when gladiator fights were not only sport but also symbolic battles representing conflict and confrontation. It offers a glimpse into Tarquinia's rich history and cultural heritage. With its attention to detail and expert craftsmanship, this engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of humanity's fascination with violence throughout different periods of civilization.
