The Repulse of Attila
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Raphael is a captivating print that transports us back to the ancient world. This brown wash heightened with gouache on paper artwork, housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK, showcases Raphael's exceptional talent and mastery during the High Renaissance period. In this stunning piece, we witness an intense battle scene unfolding on the banks of the Mincio River. The Huns led by Attila are met with fierce resistance from a determined entourage defending their land. The study-like quality of this drawing allows us to glimpse into Raphael's creative process as he meticulously sketches each figure and horse. The composition is filled with energy and movement as horses gallop across the river, splashing water in their wake. Amidst all chaos stands Pope Leo I, symbolizing strength and leadership as he bravely faces off against Attila himself. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from flowing robes to intricately drawn armor - bringing these historical figures to life. Raphael's attention to wildlife is also noteworthy; farm animals graze peacefully nearby amidst all turmoil, reminding us that life goes on even in times of conflict. This print not only showcases artistic brilliance but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination when faced with adversity. As we gaze upon "The Repulse of Attila" we are transported back in time, witnessing history unfold before our eyes through Raphael's skilled hand.
