"Death Of Camilla" painting

In Roman mythology, Camilla, the warrior queen of the Volscians who were allied with King Turnus of Latium (Italy), came to his assistance when his country was invaded by Aeneas, the Trojan prince who had fled Troy. Camilla slew many Trojans and their Etruscan allies, but finally was killed herself by Aruns, an Etruscan warrior. Aruns was later slain by one the Goddess Diana's archers in vengenace.

I have placed "Death Of Camilla", a painting by Maicar Forlag (1927), now housed in the Liebig Museum in Germany, in the blog's "Art Gallery". Go the "Table Of Contents" for a quick link to the gallery and you will find this painting the fourth one down. This version shows Camilla mortally wounded by an arrow and being attended by her female captains. The painting is of the few known which depicts the death of Camilla.

Phoenix The Warrior: gladiatrix fights

"Phonnix The Warrior" wasn't the most fantastic of women warrior movies, but it was typcial of the 1970-80's futuristic Amazon movie. For those who love gladiatrix combats, please click the title to see Phoenix fighting a few gladiatrices. Not the finest example of female combat, but entertaining.
I've placed this clip into my video library.

"Lost World" gladiatrix fights

Here's an exciting You Tube movie clip from "The Lost World", starring Veronica Marguerite. It depicts Amazons dueling with swords and even has one mass battle. It's non-lethal, but their fencing is not bad. Weapons and armor are spot-on for this sort of thing. Please click post's title to jump to link. I've also placed it in my video library here. Hope you enjoy it and please comment.

I just uploaded a new artwork, "Spartan Queen", by artist Tariq12. It's located under the "Blog News" section so you can use the "Table Of Contents" to jump near it. It's a thrilling render of a warrior queen in a bloody combat and I hope that you like it.

Gladiatrix Fight Video

Here's a short You Tube video from an acting conservatory where two actresses perform as gladiatrices. Their swordfight is brief but they put on an interesting show and it ends with one dying bravely. I wish they had worn more classical armor, but their swords looked like they were made well. Please click this post's title to jump to the link. I have also placed the video in the blog's "Video Library".

"Warrior Princesses" video

I found a new women-warrior video on You Tube called "Warrior Princesses". It had a few artworks that I haven't seen before and the video, although quite short, was overall very good. Fantastic sound track, also. Please click this post's title to jump to the link there. I also placed this video in the blog's "Video Library".

"Valkyries Art" video

Please enjoy my latest video, "Valkyries Art", which I just uploaded to "You Tube." Seventeen fantastic pictures of these Norse, women warriors from Scandinavian mythology. The Valkyries were daughters of Odin who swooped down on battlefields, selected the bravest slain fighters, and conveyed them on winged horses to Valhalla. These ladies were truly the "The Choosers Of The Slain". Background music is "The Flight Of The Valkryies" by Richard Wagner.

I have a playlist, also, on "You Tube", under my username, AmazonArtCollector, and all of my videos are in the video library here.

Deathstalker IV: video clip, two swordswomen fight

I just added an interesting You Tube video clip from the movie "Deathstalker IV" that features two swordswomen fighting a death match. One is good, the other evil. I added the clip to my "Video Library" and you can also click the title to jump right to it. Hope you like it.

"War Goddess" (1974) Amazons vs Greeks video clip

I found the "War Goddess" (1974) video clip, while searching my videos that I've backed up, that was deleted from You Tube. This clip depicts the famous battle between Queen Antiope's Amazon cavalry and King Theseus's Greek army who's holding her captive. "War Goddess" is the English dubbed, Italian version of "The Amazons", released to U.S. audiences the same year.

Directed by Terrence Young, of "Star Wars" fame, "War Goddess" features several action clips depicting Amazon life and combat. My favorite is this clip as it shows Amazons wearing period costumes, with authentic weapons, using good horsewomanship, and excellent fight scenes.

Please clip the above link to view it, plus I've placed in my "Video Library" on the blog. Enjoy!

"The Amazons" movie trailer

The two "War Goddess" (1974) clip links linked to You Tube in my "Video Library" have been removed by the uploader. Luckily, I have replaced it with the trailer from the American version, called "The Amazons", also from 1974. Some of the battle scenes from the deleted clips can be found in the trailer so hope that you enjoy it. You can also click the link above to view the trailer.
