EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the ceramic tiles depicting the Lady of Elche in procession with elephants following. Created by the Spanish School in the 20th century, this artwork can be found in Maria Luisa Park, Seville, Spain. The image is a snapshot of history, as it portrays the disembarcation of Hamilcar and his son Hannibal at Akra Leuce during the First Punic War that took place between 264-241 BC. Displayed at the Spanish Pavilion during the World Exhibition in Seville back in 1929, this picture holds immense cultural significance. Amilcar Barca and Hannibal are revered as founders of Alicante (Acra Leuca), making their presence even more meaningful. The Lady of Elche herself represents Carthaginian heritage and female power. Her enigmatic expression and intricate headpiece captivate viewers, while her regal presence commands attention. The procession of elephants behind her adds an element of grandeur to this scene. This photograph not only captures a beautiful piece of art but also serves as a reminder of historical events that shaped our world today. It allows us to appreciate both artistic craftsmanship and ancient civilizations' legacies while immersing ourselves in their rich narratives.
