EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Horace Cocles Defending Sublician Bridge" takes us back to ancient Rome, showcasing a remarkable moment in history. The image captures the heroic figure of Horace Cocles on horseback, valiantly defending the entrance to Pons Sublitius while the bridge stands broken behind him. This scene unfolds amidst a backdrop of contrasting forces - on the right, we witness the army camp of attacking Etruscans, while on the left, besieged Romans can be seen near Trajan's column. In this extraordinary display of bravery and strategic prowess, Horace Cocles single-handedly holds off the relentless Etruscan invaders as his fellow Romans work tirelessly to repair their damaged bridge. With unwavering determination and courage coursing through his veins, he becomes an emblematic symbol of Roman resilience. As tension builds and danger looms ever closer, our eyes are drawn to Horace Cocles' daring escape plan. In a breathtaking act of survival, he leaps fearlessly into the Tiber River below. This iconic moment showcases not only his physical prowess but also highlights defensive measures employed by military strategists throughout history. This historic panel from Florence around 1450 is brought to life through tempera painting techniques that add depth and vibrancy to every detail. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and fortitude in times of adversity.
