Sinorix being carried from the temple after being poisioned 1650 - 1700

Arnold van Westerhout’s etching, “Sinorix being carried from the temple after being poisoned,” depicts a dramatic scene from Roman history. The print shows the Gaulish chieftain Sinorix being carried away from a temple on a litter, surrounded by frantic figures. Sinorix, the main figure, is shown limp and dying, as the artist portrays him with great detail and emotion. The work is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the drama of the scene and creating a sense of realism in his depiction of the historical event. The artwork is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
