EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the ancient Roman world, specifically depicting Roman wrestlers engaged in combat. The image is taken from "Hieronymi Mercurialis de arte gymnastica", a renowned publication from 1577 that delves into the art of physical exercise during that era. Created by an unknown artist in the 16th century, this piece now resides in a private collection. The engraving captures the intensity and skill involved in this ancient form of combat sport. Two muscular figures are locked in a fierce struggle, their bodies intertwined as they grapple for dominance. The attention to detail is remarkable, highlighting every sinew and muscle strain as these athletes exert themselves to gain an advantage over their opponent. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out the timeless quality of this artwork while preserving its historical significance. The monochromatic palette adds depth and drama to the composition, emphasizing both the strength and vulnerability of these ancient warriors. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported back to Ancient Rome, where such athletic contests were not only displays of physical prowess but also reflections of cultural values and societal norms. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and offers us a glimpse into the rich tapestry of life during one of civilization's most influential periods - truly an exquisite addition to any fine art collection.
