Peter Connolly's memorial event

[ray245]

I've attended a little memorial event for Peter Connolly, with his friends, family and colleges telling us about his passion for the ancient world and how he set about recreating it for the modern world.

One of the best thing about the little event was the fact his family brought the actual artwork by the man himself. It's one thing to see them in books and computers, it is another thing altogether to see all of the paintings itself. There are a few unpublished works by him, as well as a novel manuscript about the 2nd Punic wars.

Here's some of the works by him.

Oh dear, I didn't know he died recently.

I hope he's now having a nice time with that other popular Late Antiquity/Medieval illustrator Angus McBride...
