Carthagena, a city steeped in history and myth, holds tales of triumph and tragedy within its ancient walls. The Death of Dido, depicted in a mesmerizing oil on canvas painting from 1650-66, captures the heart-wrenching moment when Carthage's queen succumbs to despair. Another artwork that pays homage to Carthaginian legends is the Bowl with Aeneas at Carthage, an exquisite earthenware piece dating back to 1545. But Carthagena's story goes beyond mythology; it is intertwined with real-life events that shaped civilizations. The Battle of Lake Trasimene comes alive through an intense oil on canvas masterpiece, showcasing the clash between Roman forces and Hannibal's army. In another striking painting titled Hannibal with the Head of his brother Hasdrubal (1728-30), we witness the raw power and determination of one of history's greatest military strategists. The naval prowess of Carthage is vividly portrayed in lithographic art featuring Roman war galleys engaged in a naumachia – a spectacular mock sea battle. Meanwhile, a colored engraving depicting Map of the Roman provinces reveals how Carthagena was once part of Hispania, Mauretania, and Africa. It also captivates our imagination through engravings like Salammbo and Potiphars wife donning exotic outfits – showcasing the city's rich cultural tapestry during the 3rd century. Young Hannibal swearing enmity to Romans further highlights his unwavering commitment to challenge their dominance. Even moments from fierce conflicts are etched into historical records: Regulus destroying the Carthaginian fleet at Cape Ecnomus in 256 BC stands as testament to Rome's military might. Engravings depicting soldiers fighting at Carthaginian fortifications provide glimpses into life during those turbulent times.
