EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Roman general, Publius Scipio Africanus, immortalized by the talented Flemish artist David Teniers the Younger. Standing tall and proud, Scipio Africanus holds a mighty sword in his hand, symbolizing his military prowess and leadership. The composition of this artwork is truly remarkable as it seamlessly blends elements of landscape and heroism. Behind Scipio Africanus, a breathtaking panorama unfolds, depicting rolling hills and distant mountains that evoke a sense of grandeur and adventure. Adorned with laurels on his head, this esteemed figure personifies victory and triumph. His noble features are complemented by an intricate crown resting upon his brow—a testament to his exceptional achievements on the battlefield. Intriguingly, nestled within the frame are two female figures representing justice. One bears scales while the other displays her bare breasts—an allegorical representation of fairness and righteousness. This inclusion adds depth to the narrative surrounding Scipio Africanus' legacy as a just leader who upheld moral values even in times of war. Through this masterful portrayal, Teniers captures not only the physical likeness but also embodies the spirit of Publius Scipio Africanus—his courage, strategic brilliance, and unwavering commitment to Rome's glory. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from Fine Art Finder's collection at Bridgeman Images website, www. bridgemanimages. com , we cannot help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history
