EDITORS COMMENTS
Master I. B's captivating 1529 print, titled "Marcus Curtius," transports us back to ancient Rome, where the mythical figure of Marcus Curtius is depicted in a heroic and dramatic scene. The image, reminiscent of the 16th century, captures the essence of Roman mythology and culture. Marcus Curtius, a legendary Roman soldier, is shown leaping on horseback into the abyss, believed to be the site of a sinkhole in the Roman Forum. According to the myth, Marcus Curtius had sacrificed himself to save Rome from destruction, and the sinkhole miraculously filled in after his selfless act. The circular composition of the print emphasizes the round shape of the abyss, while the contrast between the white horse and the grey background adds depth and texture. The figure of Marcus Curtius, depicted in the nude, epitomizes the heroic and masculine ideals of ancient Rome. This print, with its intricate engraving and meticulous attention to detail, is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of the 16th century. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, museum, or gallery, providing a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of Rome and its mythology. The print, created by Master I. B, is a conceptual representation of the myth, capturing the essence of the story and the heroic figure of Marcus Curtius. It is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient Rome, mythology, or art history.
