EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the expulsion of the Byzantines from the Peninsula by Visigothic King Suintila. The engraving, originally painted by Jeronimo Alonso Gil during the 7th century, showcases an epic scene filled with action and bravery. In this horizontal composition, we see a mighty army led by King Suintila as they engage in battle against their Byzantine adversaries. The soldiers are adorned in military clothing and helmets, wielding spears with determination. Their flags flutter proudly in the wind, symbolizing their allegiance to their king and country. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every element contributes to the historical accuracy of this portrayal. From the intricate armor worn by both sides to the architectural beauty of bridges spanning over rivers, each aspect adds depth and realism to this depiction. This rare print is part of a private collection belonging to Santiago Ortega, allowing us a glimpse into an important chapter of Spanish history. It serves as a reminder of Visigothic strength and resilience while highlighting Suintila's pivotal role in liberating Spain from Byzantine rule. With its powerful imagery and historical significance, this print is not only visually striking but also provides valuable insight into one of Spain's defining moments.
