EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning "Design for an engraved gem in an ornamental setting" created by Girolamo Odam in 1722. The artwork, rendered using pen and brown ink with grey wash on laid paper, measures 51.7x36.9 cm and is currently housed at the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford. The intricate design features exquisite details that highlight Odam's artistic prowess. The ornate setting beautifully complements the central figure, depicting a heroic man from ancient mythology. This legendary character exudes strength and masculinity as he stands tall amidst a backdrop of precious stones such as lapis lazuli.
