EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Curtius leaping into the chasm" transports us back to ancient Rome, immersing us in a moment of bravery and sacrifice. The image, captured by Bartolomeo Pinelli, showcases the legendary act of Marcus Curtius plunging fearlessly into a deep chasm. As we gaze upon this powerful scene, we are reminded of Livy's timeless account of Roman history. This particular illustration was created for Alfred J Church's book "Stories from Livy" published in 1895. It serves as a visual representation of one of Livy's most memorable tales. The composition is filled with tension and drama as Curtius prepares to leap into the abyss. His body language exudes determination and courage, while his flowing robes add an element of gracefulness to his daring act. The surrounding onlookers bear witness to this extraordinary event with expressions ranging from awe to disbelief. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time and given a glimpse into the valor that defined ancient Rome. It reminds us that throughout history, individuals have been willing to make great sacrifices for their community or nation. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical masterpiece through their fine art print collection. As we admire this piece, let it serve as a reminder not only of our rich past but also as inspiration for acts of bravery and selflessness in our own lives today.
