Gaius Sulpius Gallus forudser en måneformøkelse 1574

"Gaius Sulpius Gallus forudser en måneformøkelse" is a woodcut by Tobias Stimmer, created in 1574. The artwork depicts a Roman general named Gaius Sulpius Gallus on horseback, with a group of soldiers behind him, gazing upwards at a lunar eclipse. The detailed woodcut uses a dense network of lines to illustrate the scene, with the general's armor and the soldiers' weapons visible in fine detail. This piece, part of Stimmer's collection of woodcut illustrations, shows his mastery of the technique and his interest in Roman history and mythology. It is currently housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
