EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Quintus Sertorius, a renowned Roman statesman and general of the 1st century BC. Created by Michael Burghers, this artwork showcases Sertorius in all his glory, capturing the essence of his leadership and military prowess. Sertorius was not only a skilled commander but also a man deeply connected to nature. The presence of a young goat in the image symbolizes his affinity for animals and his ability to find solace amidst the chaos of warfare. As he stands confidently with one hand resting on his sword hilt, it is evident that he possesses both strength and wisdom. The setting transports us to ancient Greece, specifically Hispania (modern-day Spain), where Sertorius played a significant role in expanding Roman influence. His time spent in Iberia allowed him to forge alliances with local tribes and establish himself as an influential figure. Plutarch's Lives serves as the source material for this illustration, highlighting Sertorius' importance even centuries after his death. This print captures not only the historical significance of this remarkable individual but also offers us a glimpse into classical antiquity. Bridgeman Images has preserved this masterpiece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and delve into the life of Quintus Sertorius - an exceptional leader whose legacy continues to inspire generations.
