Assassinated C01st C02nd Crabbs Triumvirate
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Pompey" takes us back to the pages of history with its intricate details and profound subject. Published in 1825 as part of Crabbs Historical Dictionary, this artwork showcases the renowned Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, better known as Pompey the Great. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported to ancient Rome, where Pompey's political and military prowess left an indelible mark on the late Roman Republic. The artist skillfully captures his commanding presence through a striking profile view that exudes strength and determination. Pompey's significance is further emphasized by his role in the triumvirate alongside Julius Caesar and Marcus Licinius Crassus. This alliance shaped Roman politics during a time of great turmoil and upheaval. However, despite his remarkable achievements, tragedy befell Pompey when he was assassinated at just 58 years old. This image serves as a poignant reminder of both his extraordinary accomplishments and untimely demise. Preserved within a private collection for centuries, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into the past while honoring one of history's most influential figures. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate not only its historical value but also its artistic merit.
