EDITORS COMMENTS
The Marriage of Zenobia and Odenatus" is a captivating black chalk drawing with brown wash on ivory laid paper laid down on ivory laid paper, created by the Flemish artist Justus van Egmont around the 16th century. This masterpiece, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the grandeur and splendor of ancient royalty. The drawing depicts the marriage ceremony of Zenobia, the famous queen of Palmyra in Syria, and her husband Odenatus, also known as Septimius Odaenathus. Zenobia, with her regal bearing and striking features, is dressed in rich robes and adorned with jewels. Her husband, Odenatus, is depicted as a powerful and imposing figure, wearing a military cloak and holding a scepter. The scene is set against a backdrop of grand architecture, with columns and arches creating an impressive setting for the royal union. The use of monochrome chalk and wash creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the image to life. Zenobia and Odenathus were a formidable couple who ruled Palmyra during the third century AD. Their reign was marked by military conquests and cultural achievements, making them an intriguing subject for artists of the time. This drawing is a testament to the artistic skill and vision of Justus van Egmont, who masterfully captured the essence of royalty and the grandeur of ancient Palmyra. The Marriage of Zenobia and Odenatus is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, ancient culture, or the intricacies of human relationships.
