The general epic nature of Dore's prints makes them appropriate to this thread.

Le Brenn et sa part de butin ("Brennus and His Share of the Spoils", also known as: "Spoils of the Battle"), by Paul Jamin, 1893
I can't help but smile when I see this painting! Love the blood trickling down the steps and the dead faces of the harem guards in the bottom left.
Hope Brennus had a good time, 'cos the Romans kicked his ass soon after.
Quote:Quote:
In the Battle of the Allia, Brennus defeated the Romans, and entered the city itself. The Senones captured the entire city of Rome except for the Capitoline Hill, which was successfully held against them. According to legend Marcus Manlius Capitolinus was alerted to the Gallic attack by the sacred geese of Juno. However, seeing their city devastated, the Romans attempted to buy their salvation from Brennus. The Romans agreed to pay one thousand pounds weight of gold. According to Livy, during a dispute over the weights used to measure the gold (the Gauls had brought their own, heavier-than-standard), Brennus threw his sword onto the scales and uttered the famous words "Vae victis!", which translates to "woe to the conquered!".

Any idea how to get a cheap print version / reproduction of these great painting to hang on the walls?
My "battle of poitiers" painting can easily cost 300e if bought online, but I dont see why I cant just go to a photography studio and ask for a big ass print of the picture. So far none of the shops I visited has agreed. The tricky part is to find an original file that can be printed on high resolution. Then there's this whole fuckassery about copyright laws.

Only 1 Rockwell Painting? Maybe I'm biased as he's my favorite artist but come on.
