The Turbot of Domitian - A Satirical Delight from Ancient Rome
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, dating back to the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the world of ancient Rome through a satirical lens. Depicting a scene from Juvenal's satirical poem, this illustration humorously portrays the turbot fish as an emblematic figure in Roman society during Emperor Domitian's reign. The image showcases the wit and social commentary prevalent in French literature and art at that time. The young boy featured in the artwork adds an element of innocence amidst the political undertones, reminding us that even children were not immune to satire. As we delve into this historical gem, we are transported to a bygone era where emperors held immense power and trade thrived. The Flavian dynasty comes alive through vivid illustrations and poetic verses, shedding light on their political influence. With its rich colors and intricate details, this postcard-sized print captures our imagination while offering valuable insights into classical poetry and ancient Roman culture. It serves as a reminder that satire has long been used as a tool for societal critique throughout history. Brought to us by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this unique piece invites us to explore not only the fascinating world of ancient Rome but also appreciate how art can transcend time and continue to entertain generations with its timeless humor.
