EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of bravery and courage displayed by Gaius Mucius Scaevola, a Roman youth who attempted to assassinate the Clusian king Lars Porsena. Painted by Parmigianino (Francesco Mazzola) in the 16th century, this artwork showcases the artist's mastery in capturing emotion and movement. In this small yet powerful image, we see Mucius thrusting his hand fearlessly into the flames. The metal-point technique on a yellowish ground adds depth and texture to the composition, while touches of white body color bring light and contrast to his figure. The meticulous details in this drawing highlight Parmigianino's skill as an artist during the Renaissance period. Mucius' act of holding his hand in fire symbolizes unwavering determination and loyalty to Rome. Despite being captured after his failed attempt, he demonstrates incredible bravery that inspires admiration even today. This artwork serves as a reminder of human resilience and sacrifice for a greater cause. The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth house this remarkable piece, which is reproduced here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees. It stands as a testament to Italian artistry during the 16th century and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless message of courage.
