Description
This is a reproduction of J. N. Sylvestre's "The Sack of Rome by the Visigoths on August 24, 410" of 1890. The artist died in 1926 at the age of seventy-nine years having been born in Beziers, France. He studied under Alexandre Cabanel at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He favored historical scenes, particularly those of Rome, and won prizes in the Prix de Rome and Prix de Salon becoming quite popular. On August 24, 410 the city of Rome was sacked by an enemy for the first time in 800 years. It was the beginning of the end. Christianity had been proclaimed the only legitimate religion of the empire twenty years before and many critics of the religious innovation blamed the ravaging of the eternal city on its having abandoned the gods of their ancestors. This painting depicts but a small scene from the devastation that the capital of the world endured.
