EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Hortensius" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the talent of an anonymous European artist. The print is part of a private collection, adding to its exclusivity and allure. Originally created as an illustration for "A Dictionary of Classical Antiquities" this artwork transports us to ancient Greece, where Hortensius emerges as a prominent figure in the legal realm. As a lawyer and magistrate, he was renowned for his defense skills in criminal cases. The intricate details captured by the skilled engraver bring Hortensius to life on paper. His strong features exude confidence and wisdom, reflecting his esteemed position within society. This portrait offers a glimpse into the world of politics during that era, hinting at his involvement as a party official or even holding higher positions such as president or head of government. The inclusion of Roman references further emphasizes Hortensius' connection with antiquity and highlights Italy's influence on classical civilization. The Italian flag subtly reminds us of his origins in Latium, while sculptures scattered throughout the image symbolize Rome's rich artistic heritage. Overall, this remarkable piece invites viewers to delve into history and appreciate both the artistry behind it and the significance of figures like Hortensius who shaped our understanding of law and governance centuries ago.
