Romerne indtager Satricum 1574

"Romerne indtager Satricum" (Romans conquer Satricum) is a woodcut by Tobias Stimmer, a Swiss artist who lived from 1539 to 1584. Created in 1574, the artwork depicts a chaotic battle scene with Roman soldiers and their horses engaging in combat. The detailed rendering of armor and weapons, along with the dynamic movement of the figures, highlights the intensity and violence of the event. This small-scale artwork, measuring 75 mm in height and 105 mm in width, is a testament to Stimmer's skill in capturing the intricacies of historical battle scenes through woodcut, a technique he mastered during his lifetime. The work is currently held in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
