EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the ancient city of Alexandria in 47 BC, during the dramatic Siege of Alexandria by Julius Caesar. The image depicts a galley, or warship, under immense strain as it bears the weight of soldiers who have invaded it. The intricate details captured by the unknown artist in 1885 showcase the intensity and chaos of battle. We can almost feel the tension in the air as Roman soldiers clash with Egyptian forces on this historic vessel. The composition highlights both the power and vulnerability of these naval battles that shaped ancient history. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of Caesar's audacity and military prowess. His determination to conquer Egypt is palpable through his troops' sheer numbers overwhelming their enemy's defenses. This scene serves as a testament to Caesar's strategic brilliance and unwavering resolve. The engraving also offers a glimpse into life during antiquity – from intricately designed bridges connecting different parts of Alexandria to Roman soldiers donning their distinctive armor. It is truly an evocative snapshot frozen in time. Stefano Bianchetti's restoration work has breathed new life into this historical artwork, allowing us to appreciate its beauty once again. As we admire this piece from our private collection, let us reflect on how these events continue to shape our understanding of warfare, politics, and civilization itself.
