EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a study for Lucain's "La Pharsale", Canto IX, created by the talented artist Hubert Francois Gravelot in the year 1766. The image showcases an intriguing scene from ancient Roman times, depicting a group of individuals with their arms raised in greeting or gesturing. The concept of arrival is evident as figures gather together, possibly to welcome someone important. The artwork transports us back to the 1st century AD, during Julius Caesar's reign and the civil war that ensued. Gravelot skillfully brings this historical moment to life through his detailed drawing technique using ink. His attention to detail is remarkable as he portrays both male and female characters dressed in traditional Roman attire. As we explore this piece further, we can appreciate its significance within French art history. Created by Bourguignon Danville Hubert Francois, also known as Hubert Francois Bourguignon, this work exemplifies his mastery of capturing historical narratives through visual representation. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Rome and its influence on literature and art throughout centuries. It invites viewers to delve into Marcus Annæus Lucanus' epic poem "La Pharsale" while admiring Gravelot's artistic interpretation of it. Overall, this stunning artwork offers a glimpse into both ancient Roman culture and 18th-century French artistic prowess—a true treasure preserved at Heritage Images for all art enthusiasts to enjoy.
