EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 2 of the renowned series "Roman Emperors on Horseback" by Adriaen Collaert. The focal point of the image is an impressive equestrian statue of Augustus, the revered Roman emperor. From a unique perspective behind the statue, we witness Augustus holding a globe in his hand, symbolizing his dominion over vast territories. Intriguingly, while our attention is drawn to this majestic sculpture, a lively feast unfolds in the background on the left side of the image. This juxtaposition between power and revelry offers us a glimpse into ancient Roman society's complex dynamics. Collaert's masterful engraving technique brings out intricate details and textures that make this artwork truly come alive. The artist skillfully captures both the strength and gracefulness of horses as they carry their riders through history. As we delve into this piece from Italy's rich artistic heritage, it becomes evident that Collaert was not only capturing historical figures but also conveying their significance as leaders and symbols of royalty. Through his meticulous craftsmanship, he immortalizes Emperor Augustus' legacy for generations to admire. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Collaert's talent in portraying historical scenes with precision and artistry. It invites viewers to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its historical context within 16th-century Rome.
