EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Marcus Curtius on horseback" we are transported back in time to witness a moment of extraordinary bravery and self-sacrifice. The anonymous photographer, believed to be Hendrick Goltzius or Franco Estius from the years 1645-1706, beautifully captures the essence of Marcus Manlius Curtius' legendary act. Mounted on his majestic steed, Marcus Curtius is depicted as a hero ready to face his fate. The scene unfolds at the edge of a treacherous gorge, where lethal fumes rise ominously. With unwavering determination, this staff captain prepares himself for an incredible leap into the abyss. The image showcases not only the equestrian prowess of both man and horse but also their unyielding bond. As Marcus Curtius takes flight, he seeks to appease the gods by offering his own life in exchange for Rome's safety during troubled times. The Latin verses inscribed on Marcus' staff and held firmly in his hand remind us that this courageous act has been performed twice before by other noble individuals whose names remain unknown. Through Quint Lox's lens, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for sacrifice and devotion. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a powerful reminder that true heroes can emerge even in our darkest hours. It invites us to reflect upon our own willingness to go beyond ourselves for the greater good - just like Marcus Manlius Curtius did centuries ago.
