EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait of Domitia Longina, wife of the Roman Emperor Domitian" dating back to the late 1st century. The subject of this portrait is none other than Domitia Longina (c53-c130), who became Empress after marrying Domitian in 71 AD, following her divorce from Lucius Aelius Lamia. Domitia Longina was born into a prestigious family as the youngest daughter of Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo, a renowned general and consul. Her marriage to Domitian granted her an esteemed position within the Roman Empire until her husband's tragic assassination in 96 AD. This remarkable sculpture, crafted from marble, captures every intricate detail of Lady Longina's face and head with astonishing precision. Its vibrant colors bring life to this royal figure from ancient Rome. Currently housed in The Hermitage collection in St Petersburg, Russia, this artwork stands as a testament to both the artistic prowess and historical significance of Italy during that era. It serves as a reminder not only of Lady Longina's role as an empress but also highlights the rich cultural heritage embedded within Italian art
