EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Byzantine soldiers of Belisarius gaining access to the besieged city of Naples via its disused aqueduct, 536" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. In this scene, we witness the resilience and ingenuity of Byzantine soldiers as they strategize their way into the besieged city through an unlikely route. The image depicts a group of medieval soldiers clad in armor and armed with weapons, led by the renowned general Belisarius. With determination etched on their faces, they navigate the dark tunnels of Naples' disused aqueduct system. This daring maneuver allowed them to surprise their Gothic adversaries who were focused on defending traditional entry points. The artist skillfully captures the tension and anticipation surrounding this critical operation during the Gothic War. The crumbling walls and arches of the aqueduct serve as a stark contrast to the strength and unity exhibited by these brave warriors. Through this print, we are transported back to 6th century Europe, where warfare was not only about brute force but also about strategic thinking and adaptability. It serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity, human resilience can triumph over seemingly insurmountable challenges. This historical artwork is not just an illustration; it is a window into an era defined by conflict, bravery, and innovation. As we gaze upon it today, let us appreciate both the artistic mastery behind its creation and the rich tapestry of stories woven within its intricate details.
