EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving by Heinrich Leutemann takes us back to Ancient Rome, immersing us in the thrilling spectacle of animals fighting in the amphitheatre. The vivid details and intricate lines bring to life a reconstitution of this ancient period, allowing us to witness the grandeur and brutality of Roman entertainment. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as various creatures engage in fierce combat within the arena. A rhinoceros charges forward with immense power, its horn poised for battle. Nearby, a brown bear stands tall on its hind legs, ready to defend itself against any adversary. In another corner of the scene, a bull displays its strength and determination as it faces off against an opponent. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we can almost hear the roar of the crowd and feel their anticipation building. The spectators fill every seat surrounding the amphitheatre, eagerly watching these wild clashes unfold before them. This print transports us back centuries ago when such spectacles were not only accepted but celebrated. Leutemann's engraving serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a reminder of how different societies' values have evolved over time. It invites contemplation on our relationship with animals and how they have been used for human entertainment throughout history. Overall, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into Ancient Rome's fascination with animal fights while also prompting reflection on our own attitudes towards wildlife today.
