EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Statue of the Tiber River, with oar and cornucopia" takes us back to ancient Rome. Created by Giovanni Battista Cannetti in 1779, this print showcases a remarkable statue found in the Temple of Isis and Serapis in Rome, now housed at the Louvre. The statue depicts the god-like figure of Tiberis Fluvii, personifying the mighty Tiber River. With an oar in one hand symbolizing his control over waterways and a cornucopia overflowing with abundance in the other, he stands tall alongside Romulus and Remus - legendary twin brothers who were raised by a she-wolf. This engraving beautifully captures not only the intricate details of this ancient sculpture but also its mythological significance. The image transports us to a time when paganism was prevalent and gods were worshipped as divine beings. The composition is masterfully executed with precise lines that highlight every contour of these mythological figures. It evokes a sense of awe for both their artistic beauty and historical importance. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded of how art can transcend time, allowing us to connect with civilizations long gone. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with mythology, religion, and ancient cultures that continue to captivate our imagination even today.
