EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 depicts a wealthy Roman citizen adorned in traditional attire, showcasing the opulence and elegance of ancient Rome. The distinguished man is seen wearing a palla, a cloak with an intricately embroidered hem, symbolizing his high social status. Draped over his shoulders is a white toga, the quintessential garment of Roman citizens that signifies their citizenship and privilege. Seated on a stool with a footrest before him, the affluent gentleman exudes confidence and sophistication. Behind him stands an impressive colonnade adorned with statues, further emphasizing his refined taste and appreciation for art. The hand-colored copperplate engraving by L. F. Labrousse beautifully captures the essence of this historical period under the direction of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. It originates from "L'antique Rome" or "Ancient Rome" which provides both historical and picturesque descriptions of this fascinating era. The image transports us back to 18th-century France when antiquity was highly revered and admired. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure that ancient Rome held for artists during this time. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another remarkable piece from their extensive collection - an exquisite portrayal of wealth, fashion, and societal hierarchy in ancient Rome through the lens of artistic interpretation.
