EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable reconstruction line drawing of Roman soldiers on horseback, patrolling the iconic Hadrian's Wall. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Philip Corke, who skillfully captured the essence of these ancient warriors in his work. Created between 1985 and 2000, this illustration transports us back in time to witness the might and grandeur of the Roman military. The attention to detail exhibited by Corke is truly commendable. Each soldier's armor and costume are meticulously depicted, reflecting their status and role within the army. Mounted confidently on majestic horses, these brave warriors exude strength and determination as they protect the borders of Roman Britannia. Located near Grindon Milecastle along Hadrian's Wall, this artwork pays homage to both history and artistry. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left by the Romans in Britain during their occupation centuries ago. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the clattering hooves and feel the energy emanating from these soldiers ready for battle. Their shields glisten under sunlight while weapons rest at their sides – symbols of their preparedness for any threat that may arise. Philip Corke has masterfully brought together elements of graphic design with historical accuracy to create an evocative portrayal of Roman military life along Hadrian's Wall. This print allows us to appreciate not only his talent but also our rich heritage intertwined with one man’s artistic vision.
