EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Marcus Valerius" from the renowned series The Roman Heroes, created by the talented artist Hendrik Goltzius in 1586. Immersed in the ancient Roman era, this image transports us back to a time of valor and heroism. In this full-length engraving, Marcus Valerius stands proudly as an epitome of strength and bravery. Adorned in traditional Roman attire, he dons a majestic helmet and wields a formidable sword and shield. His muscular physique exudes power while his determined gaze reveals his unwavering dedication to warfare. Goltzius skillfully captures every detail with intricate precision, emphasizing not only the physicality but also the essence of heroism that defines Marcus Valerius. The use of black and white enhances the timeless quality of this artwork, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even more. As we observe Marcus Valerius from behind, our attention is drawn to his chiseled buttocks adorned with ribbons symbolizing victory. This subtle touch adds depth to the narrative by highlighting both his vulnerability as a naked warrior and his triumphs on the battlefield. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this masterpiece serves as a testament to Goltzius' artistic prowess and passion for mythology. It invites viewers into an ancient world where honor was valued above all else - reminding us of our shared human heritage rooted in tales of heroic deeds.
