Belisarius attacks the Ostrogoths in Rome, 536
Herman Vogel

According to ancient sources, Belisarius presented himself as a liberator from the dominion of the Ostrogoths and held a speech which has been reported to us by the sources. He proposed to accept immediate liberation, arguing that the Neapolitans could avoid a war that would lead them to disaster or, even if they had resisted, to a completely useless victory.

A heated debate then opened within the city: Stephen and his colleague Antiochus proposed surrendering to Belisarius to obtain the benevolence of the emperor of Constantinople, while two other notables, Pastore and Asclepiodotus, advised resisting the Byzantines.

At first, the faction in favor of surrender was having the upper hand, so much so that Stephen resumed contact with Belisarius to define the terms of the handover of the city.

Hermann Vogel was a German illustrator, born in Plauen in 1854 and died in Munich in 1921. He trained at the art academy in Dresden and specialized in the representation of historical, mythological and fairy-tale scenes. He collaborated with several children's magazines and books, including Heinrich Hoffmann's famous Der Struwwelpeter. Among his best-known works are illustrations for Shakespeare's works, the Arabian Nights, the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and Nordic legends. He was also a photography teacher at the Berlin Polytechnic, where among his students was Alfred Stieglitz, a future pioneer of artistic photography.
