EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of Elias van Nijmegen, a renowned Dutch painter from the 17th century. The painting, titled "Generosity of Scipio" depicts a significant moment in Roman history during the conquest of Carthage Nova in Spain around 210 BC. In this scene, Roman troops are seen looting treasures and capturing an extraordinarily beautiful young woman. However, upon learning that she is engaged to a local warlord, their army commander Scipio displays great restraint and generosity. Instead of keeping her as a prize or selling her off, he decides to return her to her fiancé along with the money that was offered by the girl's parents for her freedom. The artwork beautifully captures this act of kindness and highlights Scipio's noble character. Van Nijmegen skillfully uses oil on canvas linen to bring out intricate details and vibrant colors in his portrayal of this historical event. Originating from the Katwijk house in Rotterdam (which no longer exists), this piece holds immense historical significance. It serves as a reminder not only of ancient Roman history but also emphasizes values such as generosity and compassion that transcend time. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic talent of Elias van Nijmegen and delve into a fascinating chapter from Roman history.
