EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the fall of Corinth, Greece, to the Romans in 146 B. C. The image showcases a photogravure from the late 19th century, based on Tony Robert-Fleury's renowned painting "The Last Day of Corinth" created in 1870. In this scene, we witness the brutal conquest as Roman soldiers storm into the once-mighty city. The atmosphere is charged with tension and chaos as men and women scramble to defend their beloved homeland against an overwhelming force. The statue of a powerful warrior stands tall amidst the turmoil, symbolizing both defiance and resignation. The composition skillfully portrays various elements that define ancient Greece during this Iron Age period. Men clad in armor fight valiantly while others stand defiantly nude, showcasing their unwavering courage. Women can be seen fleeing or standing strong alongside their male counterparts. Notably, an ox grazes peacefully in the background - a poignant reminder of how swiftly peace can be disrupted by war's relentless advance. As viewers gaze upon this evocative print, they are transported back in time to witness one of history's most significant moments: when Corinth fell under Roman rule forever altering its destiny. This artwork serves as a testament to human resilience and highlights both triumphs and tragedies that shape our collective past.
