Image description

Reproduced as an engraving, Poynter’s painting ‘Faithful unto Death’ (Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool) became one of the most popular images in Victorian art. It shows a faithful Roman sentinel standing steadfastly at his post during the volcanic destruction of Pompeii. This drawing is a life study of the man in the background of the painting shown shielding himself from raining fire. Poynter’s powerful depiction of the body in action and his sound understanding of muscle and skeletal structure indicate his training in the French academic tradition.
