EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Giulio Bonasone transports us back to the 16th century, immersing us in the heart-wrenching reality of war. Titled "The wounded soldier Scipio in the centre surrounded by figures, 1531-76" it depicts a powerful scene that evokes both empathy and admiration for those who have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield. In this engraving, we witness Scipio, a brave Roman soldier, standing at the center with his wounds prominently displayed. Surrounding him are various figures representing different aspects of warfare – comrades-in-arms offering support, medical personnel tending to his injuries, and mournful civilians witnessing the devastating consequences of conflict. Bonasone's meticulous attention to detail brings each figure to life; their expressions convey a range of emotions from anguish and despair to determination and resilience. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the human cost of war – not only physical wounds but also emotional scars that endure long after battles cease. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this Renaissance masterpiece serves as a testament to Italy's rich artistic heritage. It invites viewers into an introspective journey where they can reflect upon history's lessons while honoring those who have fought valiantly for their country. As we gaze upon this poignant image captured centuries ago, let us remember that behind every casualty lies a story untold - one that deserves our remembrance and gratitude.
