Goodwood Races - Goodwood Prize Cup - Battle between Hannibal and Scipio, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Goodwood Races - Goodwood Prize Cup - Battle between Hannibal and Scipio, 1858. Horse-racing trophy...manufactured by Mr. Hancock, of Bruton-street...The form is elegant, the body of the tankard swelling out in beautiful proportions, bulb-like in the centre, while it springs from a base which is made to exceed the circumference of its centre by a highly-elaborated continuation of the subject represented on the cup itself. The mode in which it recedes to the lip, and so unites and harmonises with the cover, is exceedingly artistic. The handle is formed by young satyrs entwined, with a dolphin as the finial...worked out in high relief, with masterly execution...[is] the battle of Hannibal and Scipio...from Le Brun's grand pictures. The force and spirit of the action are finely preserved...The confusion of the battle, the triumph, and the defeat, are each marked out by various groups, all in high relief. The chariots and the elephants, the spears of the advancing hosts, as they come up in serried ranks, the melee of combatants, the wounded and the dying, all the majesty and terrors of war, are elaborated with great skill'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
