EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the end of the 18th century depicts "The battle on both sides of the walls built by the Greeks". Inspired by Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, this artwork beautifully captures a crucial moment in ancient Greek mythology. In this scene, we witness an intense clash between two mighty armies outside the fortified walls of Troy. The artist skillfully portrays warriors engaged in combat, their arms raised high as they fiercely defend or attack with their weapons and shields. Each figure exudes heroism and determination as they fight for victory. The scale of this engraving allows us to appreciate every intricate detail - from the elaborate armor worn by these brave soldiers to the grandeur of their transport vehicles waiting nearby. The boat anchored at a distance serves as a reminder that battles were not confined solely to land but also took place at sea. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era where legends were born and immortalized through literature like Homer's Iliad. It is a testament to human resilience and our unyielding spirit when faced with adversity. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured this iconic moment from Greek history, offering us a glimpse into an age filled with valor and conflict. This artwork stands as a tribute to the enduring power of mythological tales that continue to captivate our imagination today.
