EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "Ancient History, plate 28: The Passage of Hannibal, 6 October 1842" created by the renowned French artist Honoré Daumier in the 19th century, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history. The print depicts the legendary Carthaginian general Hannibal and his army crossing the treacherous Alps during their audacious campaign against Rome. Daumier's masterful use of lines and shading brings forth a sense of drama and intensity as we witness Hannibal's daring feat. The towering mountains loom above them, their jagged peaks serving as an ominous reminder of the challenges that lie ahead. Despite facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Hannibal's determination shines through as he leads his troops with unwavering resolve. Through this artwork, Daumier not only captures a significant event from ancient history but also reflects on themes such as bravery, perseverance, and human ambition. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of nature and the resilience of humanity. This particular print is part of a series dedicated to exploring various episodes from ancient history. Its inclusion in The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection speaks volumes about its artistic merit and historical significance. As viewers gaze upon this lithograph today, they are reminded not only of Hannibal's remarkable journey but also how art can transport us across time and immerse us in tales that have shaped our world.
