Painted by Paul Buffet, this color lithograph depicts the defeat of the Italians in the First Italo-Ethiopian War. The image showcases Emperor Menelik II, also known as Negus Menelik, riding on horseback with great authority and determination. His commanding presence symbolizes his leadership and strategic brilliance during this decisive battle. Clad in traditional Ethiopian attire, complete with a majestic headdress, he exudes power and strength. Surrounded by his loyal soldiers on horseback, Emperor Menelik II leads them into victorious combat against their Italian adversaries. The battlefield is alive with action as troops engage in fierce confrontation. Horses gallop across the terrain while soldiers fight valiantly for their homeland. This painting not only commemorates Ethiopia's triumph over Italy but also serves as a testament to African resilience against colonialism. It represents a pivotal moment when an African nation successfully defended its sovereignty against European invaders. "The Negus Menelik at the Battle of Adwa" stands as both a work of art and a historical document that celebrates bravery, unity, and national pride. Through this powerful image, viewers are transported back to 1898 when Ethiopia emerged triumphant on its own soil—a reminder that courage can overcome even seemingly insurmountable odds.
