EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Lictor with fasces, ancient Rome" takes us back to the grandeur of ancient Rome. Created in 1796 by Labrousse, L. F. , this print showcases a lictor holding the symbol of authority and power - the fasces. The lictor stands before an impressive aqueduct and a ruined arch, emphasizing the rich history and architectural marvels of Rome. Dressed in a tunic, sagulum gregale or short trousers, and sandals, the lictor's attire reflects the fashion of ancient Roman society. This handcoloured copperplate engraving brings life to every intricate detail captured by Labrousse's skilled hand under Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's direction. The image evokes thoughts of military might as we see the lictor carrying an axe alongside his fasces. It serves as a reminder that ancient Rome was not only known for its cultural achievements but also for its formidable army. Labrousse masterfully captures both historical accuracy and artistic beauty in this piece. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving tool. Through this artwork, we are transported back centuries ago to witness a glimpse into Roman society during its heyday. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only Labrousse's talent but also provides insight into how clothing, weaponry, and social class played significant roles within ancient Roman civilization.
