The Catapult, 1868, Edward Poynter.
Complete with naked Roman soldiers.
The tip of the arrow is glowing red hot in the original painting.
The book implies Poynter failed to capture movement in this piece, by focusing too much on detail. Not sure i entirely agree, what do you think?
Delenda est Carthago.

Ce soir, comme promis sur les réseaux, nous passons au livre le plus connu, le plus classieux, le plus déchirant et le plus fondamental de l'Énéide, ou l'épopée censée être écrite pour glorifier Rome et qui vous fait pleurer sa race à la place. Car oui, ce soir, on va parler Didon, reine de Carthage, et de comment elle vole la vedette à Énée, pour la plus grande joie de tous les petits profs de latin.
L'Énéide, livre IV, un THREAD ⬇️⬇️⬇️

TIL that the Punic surname “Barca”, as in the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca (as well as his father Hamilcar, and brothers Hasdrubal and Mago), is Phoenician for “lightning”. I don’t know how I never made the connection before, given that Phoenician is Semitic and I speak Hebrew (where the same √brq root is also used to mean “lightning”). I guess my brain is just in full on Latin Mode or something when I’m thinking of ancient Rome? Anyway - Hannibal “Lightning” Barca! ⚡️
