EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Marcus Curtius, a legendary figure from ancient Rome. Engraved by Benjamin Robert Haydon and part of a private collection, this artwork is an illustration for "Thirty Pictures" by Deceased British Artists. The engraving showcases Marcus Curtius in a moment of bravery and sacrifice. In the image, we see Marcus Curtius fearlessly leaping on horseback into what appears to be a vast chasm or abyss. The horse's powerful muscles are tense as it propels itself forward with incredible force. This leap symbolizes the unwavering courage and selflessness displayed by Marcus Curtius when he sacrificed himself for the greater good of Rome. The composition beautifully captures not only the intensity of this pivotal moment but also highlights various other animals such as racehorses, ponies, shire horses, stallions, and livestock in the background. These creatures add depth to the scene while emphasizing that Marcus Curtius' act transcends individual heroism; it represents humanity's connection with nature. Bridgeman Images has skillfully reproduced this engraving from Fine Art Finder's collection without compromising its originality or emotional impact. As you admire this remarkable print, let yourself be transported back in time to witness one man's extraordinary leap into history—a testament to bravery that continues to inspire generations today.
