EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print, titled "Head of a Roman Emperor" by William Mulready, dates back to the 18th century and is a testament to the artist's mastery of graphite on ivory laid paper tipped on ivory wove paper. The portrait depicts a profile view of a Roman Emperor, his scowling expression etched into the ivory with unyielding intensity. The emperor's regal profile, with its prominent nose and furrowed brow, exudes a sense of power and authority, transporting us back to the grandeur of ancient Rome. Mulready, a British artist, expertly captures the essence of Roman imperial portraiture, drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of classical art. The use of graphite on ivory laid paper adds a unique texture and depth to the image, enhancing the intricacies of the emperor's facial features and the folds in his toga. This print is a rare and valuable addition to any art collection, reflecting the enduring allure of Roman history and the timeless artistry of William Mulready. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to house this exquisite piece, which invites us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the enduring legacy of imperial power.
