EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome, where gladiators prepare to engage in a fierce battle. The scene depicts the solemn moment before the fight begins, as the gladiators salute their Emperor with unwavering loyalty and respect. With raised swords and determined expressions on their faces, they utter the iconic words "Ave Imperator, morituri te salutant" - Hail Caesar, we who are about to die salute you. This powerful illustration is based on a work by French artist Jean Leon Gerome from the 19th century. Through his skillful brushstrokes and attention to detail, Gerome brings forth an atmosphere of anticipation and tension within the ancient amphitheater. The crowd watches eagerly as these brave men prepare for combat, fully aware of the risks that lie ahead. The image not only captures a significant moment in history but also serves as a reminder of human strength and sacrifice. It showcases both the brutality of gladiatorial combat and the unwavering dedication these warriors had towards their Emperor. Ken Welsh's expertly reproduced print allows us to appreciate this historical artwork in all its glory. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but be drawn into this ancient world filled with honor, courage, and ultimately. . . death.
