EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Statue of Hermann" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into history. The image showcases a magnificent statue standing tall on its pedestal, depicting the legendary Germanic chieftain Arminius, also known as Hermann. The intricate details captured by the English School artist transport us to a time when the Roman Empire faced an unexpected defeat at the hands of Arminius in 9 AD. With his arm raised high, symbolizing victory and defiance against imperial rule, this powerful sculpture commemorates one of ancient Rome's most significant defeats. Set against the backdrop of the Hercynian Forest, where this decisive battle took place, we can almost feel the weight of history emanating from this print. The grotenberg or hilltop location adds depth and grandeur to this monumental artwork. Originally published in The Pictorial Times on August 12th, 1843, this engraving has become an iconic representation of bravery and national pride for Germany. It serves as a reminder that even against seemingly insurmountable odds, determination and unity can lead to triumph. Preserved within a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this historical masterpiece continues to inspire awe and admiration for both art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
