EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ancient Rome through Jacques Stella's masterpiece, "Clelie passing the Tiber". The painting depicts a pivotal moment in Roman history when Clelie, a courageous heroine, escapes from her captor and crosses the mighty Tiber River with her companions. In 507 BC, Clelie found herself held hostage by Porsenna, King of the Etruscans, who had laid siege to Rome. Determined to regain her freedom and defy her oppressor, she devised an audacious plan to escape. With unwavering bravery and resourcefulness, Clelie led her fellow hostages on horseback across the treacherous waters of the Tiber. Stella's skillful brushstrokes beautifully capture this heroic scene. The vibrant colors bring life to each character and highlight their determination as they navigate through the river's currents. The horses' powerful strides symbolize strength and resilience while emphasizing their role in this daring escape. This artwork not only showcases Stella's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to human courage and heroism throughout history.
