EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman onyx cameo depicting the awe-inspiring moment of the apotheosis of Emperor Augustus. Crafted by the French School in the 19th century, this engraving beautifully captures a significant historical event. The image portrays Emperor Augustus, who ruled during the first century AD and played a crucial role in shaping ancient Rome. The intricate details on this onyx cameo bring to life the grandeur and power associated with his reign. Apotheosis refers to the elevation of an individual to divine status, and here we witness Augustus being deified. This depiction offers us a glimpse into ancient religious beliefs and their intertwining with political power. As we delve into history through this artwork, it is evident that religion held immense significance during Roman times. The craftsmanship exhibited in this piece highlights not only artistic talent but also serves as a testament to the reverence bestowed upon emperors like Augustus. Preserved within private collections for years, this rare find now allows us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical importance. Through Emile Soldi's work published in Les Arts Meconnus - Les Nouveaux Musees du Trocadero (Paris, 1881), we are granted access to lesser-known aspects of art history. Let this mesmerizing print transport you back in time as you explore the rich tapestry of ancient Rome's religious and imperial past captured within its delicate engravings.
