EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close-up, medallion-style portrait of Marcus Cassianus Latinus Postumus, a Roman Emperor from around 260 AD. Created by the talented Flemish illustrator Hubert Goltzius in 1557, this etching captures the essence of this historical figure with remarkable detail. Set against a clean white background, the bearded emperor is depicted wearing regal apparel and a crown that symbolizes his authority. Goltzius skillfully renders every facial feature, from the intricate lines of his beard to the distinguished profile of his face. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, creating an incredibly lifelike representation. The mid-sixteenth-century artwork transports us back in time to an era when emperors ruled over vast territories within the Roman Empire. This print serves as both a visual testament to history and an artistic masterpiece. With its rich historical significance and expert craftsmanship, this portrait offers viewers a glimpse into ancient Rome while also showcasing Goltzius' talent as an illustrator. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its value as both an artifact and work of art. As we admire this stunning piece, let us appreciate how it preserves not only the likeness but also the legacy of Marcus Cassianus Latinus Postumus – forever immortalized through Goltzius' masterful etching technique.
