EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's masterpiece, "The Battle of Vercellae" a stunning oil on canvas painting that measures an impressive 411.5x376.9 cm. Housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA, this artwork was originally one of ten pieces commissioned to adorn Caa Dolfin in Venice. Depicting a historical event from ancient times, the battle portrayed here is believed to be Gaius Marius' triumph over Teutonic tribes in Lombardy during 101 B. C. The Cimbri tribe had crossed the Alps near Trent and invaded Veneto, but their strength reportedly waned due to the region's mild climate and indulgent delicacies. Tiepolo skillfully captures the intensity and ferocity of this conflict through his masterful use of baroque and rococo styles. The composition features Roman soldiers engaging Germanic warriors on horseback amidst a backdrop reminiscent of classical antiquity. "The Battle of Vercellae" serves as a testament to Rome's military prowess and conquests during its republican era. This awe-inspiring painting transports viewers back in time, allowing them to witness firsthand the fierce fighting between these two formidable forces. As you gaze upon this remarkable print, immerse yourself in the rich history it represents - an epic clash between civilizations that shaped our world today.
