EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Departure of Marcus Attilius Regulus for Carthage," is a masterpiece created by the renowned French artist Jacques-Louis David in the late 18th century. The work, which dates back to 1785 or 1786, is a stunning depiction of ancient Roman history and culture. The print captures the poignant moment as Marcus Attilius Regulus, a Roman consul, bids farewell to his wife and country before embarking on a military campaign against Carthage. The couple stands on the shore, with the Mediterranean Sea in the background, as Regulus turns to look back at his wife one last time. The emotional intensity of the scene is palpable, with the wife's outstretched hand reaching out to her husband, and Regulus' determined expression as he sets sail. David expertly employs a range of artistic techniques to bring this historical moment to life. The print is executed in black and white, with pen and black ink and brush and black ink wash and opaque white watercolour on blue laid paper. The use of chalk adds texture and depth to the figures, while the intricate details of the clothing and accessories transport us back to ancient Rome. This print is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve history. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the ancient world, art history, or the human experience. The Departure of Marcus Attilius Regulus for Carthage is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
