EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print depicts the legendary Roman soldier, Horatius Cocles, valiantly defending the Pons Sublicius against the invading army of the king of Clusium in the 6th Century BC. The artist from the French School in the 19th century masterfully captures this heroic moment from ancient Rome's history. Horatius Cocles stands proudly on a bridge, his armor gleaming under the sunlight as he confronts an overwhelming enemy force. His unwavering determination and courage are evident in his stance and expression. With sword raised high and shield firmly held, he becomes a symbol of resistance and defiance. The bridge itself serves as a powerful backdrop to this intense battle scene. Whether it is a wooden bridge or stone structure is left to interpretation, but its significance lies in its representation of unity and connection between people. This pedestrian crossing transforms into a battleground where one man's bravery can change the course of history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we cannot help but be inspired by Horatius Cocles' selfless act of heroism. He embodies not only an individual fighting for his homeland but also represents all those who have stood up against adversity throughout time. Through this print, we are transported back to ancient Rome and reminded that even in times of great turmoil, there will always be individuals willing to defend what they hold dear – their land, their freedom, and their honor.
