EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in Roman history during the Second Punic War, when Carthaginian General Hannibal Barca led his army, including war elephants, on a daring journey across the Alps in 218 BC. The sheer scale and audacity of this military maneuver is brought to life through intricate details and dramatic composition.
Hannibal's crossing of the Alps was a strategic masterstroke that took the Romans by surprise and demonstrated his tactical genius. The harsh terrain and treacherous conditions depicted in this print highlight the immense challenges faced by Hannibal and his troops as they navigated their way through snow-capped mountains to invade Italy.
The intensity of emotion on the faces of both humans and animals in this engraving evokes the hardships endured during this historic campaign.
