EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The interview between Bocchus and Sulla" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal meeting between two influential figures: King Bocchus of Mauretania and Roman general Lucius Cornelius Sulla. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a time when political alliances were forged through face-to-face encounters. The composition is rich with detail, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of the engraver. Every line and stroke brings life to the characters' expressions and gestures. Bocchus and Sulla stand at opposite ends of a table covered with maps, symbolizing their shared interest in territorial negotiations. Their body language reveals tension as they engage in intense conversation. One can almost imagine the weighty discussions taking place – strategies being devised, promises made or broken. The historical context behind this scene adds depth to our understanding of its significance. It is believed that during this meeting, Bocchus betrayed his ally Jugurtha by handing him over to Sulla's forces. This act played a crucial role in Rome's victory over Jugurtha's Numidian Kingdom. "The interview between Bocchus and Sulla" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into ancient politics. Through its intricate details and powerful narrative, it invites us to reflect on how diplomacy has shaped world events throughout history.
