The Wife of Hasdrubal Throws Herself on the Fire
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and haunting 16th-century engraving by French artist Pierre Woeiriot. This powerful work of art depicts a tragic moment in Carthaginian history, as the wife of Hasdrubal Barca, the Carthaginian general, sacrifices herself and her children to the gods in an act of devotion and desperation. The image is set against the backdrop of an ancient city, with the dark, grey tones of the engraving adding to the somber atmosphere. The figure of the wife, dressed in traditional Carthaginian attire, is shown throwing herself and her children into the flames, while her husband, Hasdrubal, looks on in anguish. The children, depicted as small, helpless figures, cling to their mother in their final moments. This engraving is a poignant depiction of the concept of sacrifice and the depths of a mother's love. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and history that has shaped the world we live in today. The image has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and is a testament to the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection. Pierre Woeiriot, a French artist of the 16th century, is known for his intricate and detailed engravings, which often explored historical and mythological themes. This particular work, "The Wife of Hasdrubal Throws Herself on the Fire," is a powerful and moving example of his artistic skill and vision. It is a reminder of the sacrifices that have been made throughout history, and the enduring power of art to capture and preserve these stories for future generations.
