EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the Roman Court at Crystal Palace, Sydenham, in Bromley, London, England, from the year 1854. The Roman Court was a significant exhibit at the Crystal Palace, a grand Victorian glass and cast iron structure originally built for the Great Exhibition of 1851. This particular court showcased a stunning collection of Roman antiquities, including the famous Toro Farnese, or Farnese Bull, from the Farnese Collection in Naples, Italy. The Toro Farnese is a magnificent marble sculpture of a bull, believed to have been created in the 1st century AD. It was discovered in the ruins of Pompeii and later became part of the Farnese family's extensive collection in Naples. The bull is depicted with a man, believed to be Hercules, standing on its back, having just been slain. This powerful and dramatic scene was a popular attraction for visitors to the Crystal Palace. The print, published in Cassells Illustrated Family Paper, London Weekly between December 31, 1853, and December 30, 1854, offers a glimpse into the indoor environment of the Roman Court. The dimly lit space, with its ornate columns and intricate details, adds to the sense of grandeur and mystery. The print also serves as a testament to the Victorian fascination with ancient Roman culture and the desire to bring such treasures to the masses. The identity of the print's creator remains unknown, but their work captures the essence of this remarkable exhibit and the awe-inspiring Toro Farnese. The print invites us to imagine the experience of visiting the Crystal Palace and witnessing this magnificent sculpture in person, transporting us back in time to the Victorian era.
