EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Heliogabalus and the Wise Women, 1589" captures a captivating scene from the baroque era. Created by Raphael Sadeler, this engraving on laid paper transports us back to ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Heliogabalus. The image showcases a group of wise women engaged in an intense discussion with the emperor himself. Intriguingly, amidst this gathering of intellects stands a primate - a monkey - symbolizing both curiosity and intelligence. As we observe this allegorical figure, it becomes evident that wisdom transcends gender boundaries as both men and women contribute their counsel to Heliogabalus. The composition is rich in detail, allowing us to appreciate every nuance captured within the frame. Each character's direct gaze draws our attention towards them while also inviting us into their world of knowledge and discourse. We witness individuals looking back at us with confidence and authority. This artwork is housed within the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, serving as a testament to its historical significance. It not only highlights Flemish artist Jodocus van Winghe's talent but also pays homage to Roman heritage art. As we contemplate this thought-provoking piece, we are reminded that wisdom knows no boundaries or limitations; it can be found among diverse groups united by their pursuit of knowledge. Through his masterful engraving technique, Sadeler invites viewers to engage with history while pondering timeless themes such as intelligence, counsel
