EDITORS COMMENTS
In this haunting print by Georg Pencz, we witness a chilling moment in history as Titus Manlius Torquatus orders his own son to be beheaded. The scene captures the intense emotions and moral dilemma faced by both father and son. Titus Manlius Torquatus, a valiant soldier and precursor to the guillotine, kneels beside the device that will end his beloved boy's life. With a heavy heart, he gives the command for his son's execution. The young boy remains stoic despite knowing his fate. The reason behind this gruesome punishment lies in the context of battle. Titus had ordered his troops not to engage with the enemy without explicit permission from their commander. However, driven by youthful bravery or perhaps foolishness, his own son defied these orders and engaged in combat anyway. This act of insubordination left Titus with no choice but to carry out justice himself. As an honorable soldier who adhered strictly to discipline and order, he believed that even family ties should not exempt one from consequences. Georg Pencz masterfully depicts this tragic event with great detail and emotion. His skillful rendering brings forth conflicting feelings of sorrow, duty, and sacrifice within viewers' hearts. Quint Lox's caption aptly encapsulates the essence of this powerful artwork while providing historical context without mentioning commercial use or any specific company associated with it.
