EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment - the uprooting of vines in Gaul by order of Emperor Domitian. The image is taken from Louis Figuier's renowned book, "The wonders of industry" published in 19th century Paris. The engraving, created by an unknown artist, showcases the power and influence of the Roman Empire over viticulture and agriculture during ancient times. In this scene, we witness the destruction of grapevines under Emperor Domitian's decree. This act symbolizes his control over Gaulish territories and his determination to assert Roman dominance. The composition exudes a sense of authority as rows upon rows of vines are ruthlessly torn from their roots. The photograph itself is a testament to the artistry and skillful craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Leonard de Selva expertly captured this historic engraving with great attention to detail, allowing us to appreciate its intricate lines and textures. As we gaze at this image today, it serves as a reminder not only of Rome's imperial might but also highlights the importance placed on viticulture in ancient societies like Gaul. It invites us to reflect on how history shapes our present understanding of agriculture and its significance within different cultures throughout time. This print offers us a glimpse into both past triumphs and losses while celebrating the artistic beauty found within historical engravings like this one.
