Fire on the Docks

In this image, the docks of Alexandria erupt in chaos. Triremes blaze as flames leap from the wharves, and silhouettes of soldiers rush ashore with torches raised high. The artist renders fire as a living thing — wild, jubilant, and merciless — swallowing the night. Among the turmoil, a few figures still fight the blaze, throwing water from amphorae into the inferno. The air itself seems to burn, and the viewer can almost taste the smoke of loss.
