EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Vandal invasion of Rome in 455 A. D. The artist, F. Schoenberg, skillfully captures the intensity and chaos of this event through intricate details and masterful strokes. In the foreground, we witness a group of fierce Vandals marching towards Rome with determination etched on their faces. They are armed to the teeth with helmets, clubs, shields, axes, swords, arrows, and spears - ready for battle against the mighty Roman Empire. Each warrior is adorned in ancient armor that reflects their barbarian origins. The Vandals charge forward as if driven by an unstoppable force while maintaining formation like a well-trained troop. Their unity is symbolized by a testudo formation - warriors interlocking their shields above them forming an impenetrable shield roof. Meanwhile, winged figures hover ominously over the scene as if representing divine intervention or supernatural forces at play during this tumultuous time. In contrast to these invaders' aggression lies Rome herself; her grandeur now under threat from these relentless conquerors. The city's surrender seems inevitable as signs of impending sacking become apparent. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how even great empires can fall prey to external invasions and highlights the resilience and tenacity displayed by both sides during this historical clash between civilizations.
