EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back in time to ancient Rome as we witness a significant moment between Tarquin the Elder and Attius Navius. Painted by Sebastiano Ricci around 1690, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 162.6x138.4 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The scene unfolds with Tarquin the Elder, a wise and powerful king of Rome, seeking counsel from Attius Navius, a revered priest known for his prophetic abilities. As they converse under the watchful gaze of classical statues and surrounded by stone pillars, their discussion carries immense weight. Tarquin's regal presence is evident through his majestic toga while Attius Navius exudes wisdom with his long flowing beard. The aged augur holds a baby in his arms symbolizing new life and potential outcomes that may arise from their consultation. This painting beautifully captures not only the historical significance of ancient Roman society but also highlights the importance of seeking guidance from trusted advisors when faced with difficult decisions. The inclusion of both male and female figures suggests that even queens like Tarquin's mother played influential roles within this complex political landscape. Ricci's attention to detail brings forth an air of authenticity, transporting viewers into an era where power dynamics were shaped by religious beliefs and divine intervention was sought at every turn. This remarkable work serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical storytelling.
