EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound tragedy and emotional turmoil of a historical moment. "Wife of Hasdrubal and Her Children" by Ercole de Roberti, painted in c. 1490-3, depicts a heart-wrenching scene from the 3rd Punic War. The painting showcases Hasdrubal the Boetharch's wife, who valiantly defended Carthage against Roman siege alongside her husband. However, when defeat seemed inevitable and surrender became their only option, this brave woman made an unimaginable choice. She took her two sons and leapt into a burning building to escape the clutches of captivity. Ercole de Roberti masterfully portrays the raw emotions etched on each character's face - anguish, despair, determination - as they confront their tragic fate head-on. The use of tempera on poplar panel adds depth and texture to this poignant composition. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA, this Italian Renaissance masterpiece serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences that war can inflict upon innocent lives. It is a testament to both human resilience and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it prompts us to reflect on the untold stories behind historical events - those often overshadowed by grand battles or political maneuvers. Through his brushstrokes, Roberti immortalizes not only an individual act but also captures universal themes such as love for family and unwavering loyalty even in times of desperation.
