"The Three Horatii" is an etching by French artist Antoine Jacquard, born in 1620. The print, likely created sometime between 1620 and 1650, depicts the three Horatii brothers taking their oaths before a battle, illustrating a famous Roman tale of sacrifice and loyalty. The work is rich in detail, showing the brothers in their armor, holding their swords, with a crowd of figures behind them. The scene is framed by an ornate border with an angel at the bottom, adding to the dramatic and emotional quality of the subject matter. This print is a testament to Jacquard's skill in etching and his interest in historical subjects.
