EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Marcus Curtius on horseback" captures a moment of immense bravery and self-sacrifice. Created by the talented print makers Herman Daniel van Perls and Hendrick Goltzius between 1826 and 1830, this artwork tells the story of Marcus Manlius Curtius. In this remarkable scene, Marcus Manlius Curtius is seen leaping on horseback into a treacherous chasm filled with lethal fumes. As a hero and staff captain, he fearlessly jumps astride his noble steed to appease the gods. The equestrian prowess displayed in this image is truly awe-inspiring. The gorge itself serves as a symbol of danger and uncertainty, while Marcus Curtius represents courage in its purest form. With his hand gripping tightly onto the staff, he embodies determination and resolve amidst adversity. Hendrick Goltzius's masterful execution brings out every intricate detail of this breathtaking leap. Meanwhile, Herman Daniel van Perls' contribution adds depth to the narrative through his expert use of light and shadow. This print from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection not only showcases artistic excellence but also invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as sacrifice, honor, and divine intervention. It serves as a reminder that there are individuals throughout history who have been willing to risk everything for their beliefs or for the greater good - just like Marcus Manlius Curtius did all those years ago.
