EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing illustration from "The Commentaries of Caesar" translated into English by William Duncan and engraved by Cornelis Huyberts in 1753. The image depicts Germans, wild and fearsome, clothed entirely in animal skins with horns adapted to their heads. These horned warriors make themselves appear terrifying, embodying the uncivilized nature often associated with pre-Roman societies. Julius Caesar's firsthand account of the Gallic Wars comes to life through this artwork, shedding light on the Germanic tribes that inhabited ancient Europe. Their nakedness is concealed beneath these primal garments as they brandish spears and clubs, ready for battle against any foe. The engraving captures the essence of a time when Germany was not yet part of the European Union or even recognized as a unified nation. It serves as a reminder of Europe's diverse history and cultural evolution over centuries. Displayed within a private collection, this historic piece transports viewers back to an era where civilization was still taking shape across the continent. It invites contemplation about our shared past while celebrating individuality and diversity among nations. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded that art has the power to bridge gaps between generations and cultures alike – allowing us to appreciate both our differences and commonalities throughout history.
