EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print depicts a pivotal moment in history - the Ostrogoths, led by their esteemed king Theodoric, embarking on a treacherous journey across the majestic Alps in 489. The image showcases the resilience and determination of these fierce Barbarians as they traverse through rugged terrains and face formidable challenges. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this historical event. A wagon, laden with supplies, leads the way while oxen tirelessly pull it forward. King Theodoric stands tall at the forefront, exuding authority and confidence as he guides his people towards an uncertain future. Behind him, his loyal subjects follow suit, united under his leadership. The towering mountains loom above them like guardians of nature's grandeur. Their snow-capped peaks serve as a reminder of both the beauty and harshness that await these brave travelers along their arduous path. This Liebig card is part of an educational series dedicated to documenting various Barbarian migrations during ancient times. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era marked by significant movements and cultural shifts. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from our private collection today, let us reflect on the courage exhibited by those who dared to venture into uncharted territories in pursuit of new horizons. May it inspire us to embrace our own journeys with unwavering determination and resilience.
