EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Roman history, depicting the renowned Roman politician and orator, Appius Claudius Caecus. Despite his blindness, Appius Claudius Caecus stands tall as he passionately dissuades the Romans from accepting peace proposals put forth by Pirrhus (Pyrrhus) I in 280 BC. Appius Claudius Caecus is widely recognized for his famous speech against Cineas, an envoy of Pyrrhus of Epirus. In this powerful address, he boldly declares that Rome will never surrender to its enemies. The illustration by Tancredi Scarpelli beautifully brings this historical event to life with intricate details and vivid colors. The image is part of "Storia d'Italia" (History of Italy), a comprehensive work by Paolo Giudici published in 1930. It showcases Scarpelli's talent as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of ancient Rome through his illustrations. This photograph from Fine Art Finder's private collection provides us with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Rome during the fourth century BC. It serves as a reminder of Appius Claudius Caecus' influential role in shaping Roman politics and inspiring patriotism among its citizens. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness one man's unwavering determination and conviction that would shape the destiny of an empire for centuries to come.
