EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Death of Marcus Atilius Regulus". Salvator Rosa masterfully captures a pivotal moment in ancient history. The print depicts the Roman general, Marcus Atilius Regulus, who was captured by Carthaginians during the First Punic War (ca. 1661-62). The scene unfolds with haunting intensity as Regulus is shown nailed to a tub, symbolizing his excruciating torment at the hands of his captors. The artist's attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow bring forth an atmosphere of despair and anguish. Salvator Rosa, an Italian painter from Naples (1615-1673), showcases his artistic prowess through this powerful work. Known for his dramatic style and preference for dark subject matters, Rosa's portrayal of Regulus' demise is both evocative and thought-provoking. The composition invites viewers to reflect on themes such as sacrifice, honor, and resilience in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection - not intended for commercial use - we are transported back in time to witness a defining moment in history through the eyes of one courageous individual. Rosa's ability to capture raw human emotion within each stroke makes this artwork a testament to his talent as well as an enduring reminder of humanity's capacity for both triumph and tragedy.
