EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cronus, Saturnus, Zeus, Jupiter" takes us on a journey through ancient mythology. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this print showcases four prominent mythological figures - Cronus, Saturnus, Zeus, and Jupiter. The intricate illustration is part of William Smith's A Classical Dictionary of Biography, Mythology, and Geography (16th edn), published in 1878. It beautifully captures the essence of these powerful gods from Greek and Roman mythology. In this artwork, we witness Cronus (also known as Saturn) holding his famous sickle while surrounded by symbols representing time and harvest. Next to him stands Zeus (Jupiter), depicted with his thunderbolt as a symbol of his authority over the heavens. The artist's attention to detail transports us back to an era where paganism was prevalent across Europe. This engraving serves as a visual reminder of the rich history that shaped our world today. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes evident that it holds immense historical significance. The fusion of Italian and Greek influences reflects the cultural exchange between Latium and Rome during this period. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job preserving this remarkable piece for future generations to appreciate.
