EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Quintus Hortensius, a prominent Roman Optimate politician and orator. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of an influential figure from ancient Rome. Quintus Hortensius lived during a crucial period in Roman history, when Julius Caesar's rise to power was imminent. As an Optimate politician, he belonged to the conservative faction that opposed Caesar's populist policies. Renowned for his eloquence and persuasive speaking skills, Hortensius played a significant role in shaping political discourse during this era. The engraving beautifully portrays Hortensius with intricate details and finesse. His dignified portrait reflects his status as a respected statesman of the time. The artist has masterfully captured every nuance of his expression, conveying both intelligence and charisma. This artwork is part of a private collection but has been digitally cleaned to enhance its visual appeal while preserving its historical significance. It originally appeared as an illustration for "Vie De Cesar" compiled by Henri De Montaut in 1865. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to ancient Rome—a time when politics were fiercely debated and oratory skills held immense power. Quintus Hortensius stands before us as a symbol of political prowess and intellectual influence—an embodiment of an era that shaped Western civilization forever.
