EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga, created in 1802, showcases three distinct Ancient Roman hairstyles as depicted in the illustrations of Lorenzo Rocceggiani. The first hairstyle, from the Mattei Garden, features an intricate arrangement of braids and plaits that cascade down the head, fastened with a decorative brooch. The second hairstyle, from the Casa Giustiniani, showcases a voluminous updo, with curls framing the face and a high bun at the crown. Lastly, the hairstyle from the Villa Albani displays a simple yet elegant chignon, with loose curls adorning the nape of the neck. These hairstyles offer a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of Ancient Roman fashion and beauty. The intricate braiding techniques, the use of decorative pins and brooches, and the emphasis on voluminous curls, all reflect the sophistication and elegance of the Roman civilization. This engraving is a valuable historical record of the classical hairstyles that continue to inspire modern fashion and design.
