EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Dying Gaul" a copy of a Greek original created by Epigonos in 230-220 BC. Made from marble, this masterpiece is housed in the Pinacoteca Capitolina within the Palazzo Conservatori in Rome, Italy. Originally discovered in the gardens of Sallust, this sculpture was an Hellenistic bronze original dedicated to Pergamon by Attalos I as a commemoration of his triumph over the Gauls in 239 BC. Previously known as the "Dying Gladiator" it portrays a wounded warrior who valiantly fights until his last breath. The image captures the essence of mortal struggle and sacrifice. The fallen warrior lies on his side, revealing visible wounds that depict both physical and emotional pain. His trumpet rests beside him, symbolizing his role as a trumpeter in battle. The photograph invites contemplation on themes such as medicine, health, and injuries inflicted during warfare. It serves as a reminder of how war can leave its mark not only on nations but also on individuals who bear witness to its brutality. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured this iconic artwork with their pergamene style photography technique. This stunning visual representation allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail and experience an intimate connection with history through art.
