EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to ancient times, witnessing a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts the Gallic army leader Brennos (Brennus) as he achieves a remarkable victory over the Romans and proclaims the famous phrase "Vae Victis" which translates to "Woe to the vanquished". The Gauls, having conquered Rome, demand a hefty ransom for their conquest. It is at this very moment that Brennus, leader of the Gallic tribe of the Senons, makes his powerful declaration by throwing his heavy sword into the plateau of the scale. This action symbolizes not only his triumph but also serves as a bold reminder of their dominance. Circa 390 BC marks an era where empires clashed and power shifted hands. The engraving itself was created in the late 19th century by Alexis Clerc and offers us a glimpse into this historical event. Preserved within a private collection, it continues to captivate viewers with its rich details and dramatic portrayal. This artwork reminds us of humanity's unyielding thirst for power and conquest throughout time. It invites contemplation on themes such as strength, resilience, and even empathy towards those who have been defeated. As we gaze upon this striking image from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we can't help but be drawn into an ancient world filled with both glory and despair.
