EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Junos geese save the Capitol" by Henri-Paul Motte showcases a pivotal moment in history. Taken from Hutchinsons History of the Nations, published circa 1920, this French engraving depicts an extraordinary event that occurred during a Roman attack on the Capitol. Intriguingly, it captures a surprising turn of events as Italian soldiers dressed in Gaul costumes attempt to climb and conquer the Capitol. However, their plans are thwarted by an unexpected savior - geese! These feathered creatures come to the rescue and use their natural weapons to defend against the invaders. The image beautifully portrays this historical incident with intricate details and vivid colors. The artist's skillful rendering brings out both the tension and heroism displayed during this remarkable event. This engraving serves as a reminder of how even nature can play its part in shaping human history. It highlights not only the bravery of those defending their land but also emphasizes that sometimes salvation can arise from unexpected sources. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how these Juno's geese played a crucial role in saving Rome's most important symbol of power – its Capitol. This print is truly an invaluable piece capturing both artistry and historical significance for all admirers of fine art and lovers of ancient history alike.
