Victory (Pompeian painting) - A Glimpse into Ancient Roman Triumph
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back in time to ancient Pompeii, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and triumph of the Roman Empire. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, beautifully captures a Pompeian painting known as "Victory". The artwork depicts a scene from Roman history where Victory herself takes center stage. With her wings spread wide and her laurel wreath held high, she symbolizes the ultimate triumph of Rome. The meticulous details and vibrant colors preserved in this digitally cleaned image allow us to appreciate the skill and artistry of both the original Pompeian painter and the engraver. Originally featured in Victor Duruy's "History of Rome" published in 1884, this illustration holds historical significance as it provides valuable insights into ancient Roman culture. It is fascinating to imagine how such magnificent paintings adorned the walls of Pompeii before its tragic destruction by Mount Vesuvius. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this remarkable piece today. As we gaze upon this print, let us marvel at the artistic mastery that has allowed us to connect with our past and gain a deeper understanding of one of history's greatest civilizations – Rome.
