EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing illustration of Salammbo, daughter of Hamilcar Barca (or Barcas), created by Georges Antoine Rochegrosse. The artwork was inspired by Gustave Flaubert's novel "Salammbo" and depicts the backdrop of the mercenary war during the first Punic War between Romans and Carthaginians. Rochegrosse masterfully captures the essence of this historical period, transporting viewers to ancient times with his attention to detail and artistic flair. The image portrays a woman, presumably Salammbo herself, standing amidst the chaos of war. Her nakedness symbolizes vulnerability in contrast to her surroundings filled with violence and conflict. The artist skillfully blends elements from French literature, Carthaginian history, and Roman antiquity to create a thought-provoking composition that resonates with viewers on multiple levels. Through this illustration, we are invited to contemplate themes such as power dynamics, femininity in warfare, and human resilience in times of strife. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry preserved within Giancarlo Costa's private collection, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative richness. It serves as a testament to both Flaubert's literary genius and Rochegrosse's ability to bring words vividly to life through visual representation. This print is not just an aesthetic delight; it also offers us an opportunity for intellectual exploration into historical events intertwined with fictional storytelling – a true treasure for lovers of art and literature
