EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Saturn, 1757" by Bernard de Montfaucon. The image is a plate from his renowned work Supplement au livre de L antiquite expliquee et representee en figures, published in Paris in 1757 and now held in a private collection. In this engraving, we see Saturn, the Roman deity associated with agriculture and time, depicted as a hunched male figure standing on a platform. He is portrayed holding a staff while wearing only a laurel wreath around his head. The winged figure of Saturn exudes an aura of religious significance as he stands barefoot on the dais. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this allegorical representation of Saturn's divine power over nature and fertility. It transports us back to the 18th century Italy where Rome was at its peak as an influential center for art and religion. Montfaucon's meticulous attention to detail shines through in this print - from the intricate lettering surrounding the illustration to capturing every nuance of Saturn's posture and expression. This piece serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a historical artifact that reflects both cultural beliefs during that era and Montfaucon's skillful artistry.
