The Battle of Zama after 1567

Cornelis Cort's "The Battle of Zama," created after 1567, depicts the decisive Roman victory over Hannibal's Carthaginian forces in 202 BC. The print, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, captures the chaos and carnage of the battle, showcasing the use of elephants in warfare. The intricate detail and dynamic composition, characteristic of the Northern Renaissance, brings the historical event to life, highlighting the contrasting power of the two armies.
