EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1796 showcases a Roman knight or princeps iuventutis, giving us a glimpse into the ancient world of Rome. The figure is depicted wearing a paludamentum cloak, tunic, short trousers or sagulum gregale, and sandals - all characteristic elements of their attire. In the foreground, we see a skilled charioteer riding in front of an obelisk and aqueduct, symbolizing the grandeur and engineering marvels of ancient Rome. The attention to detail in this handcoloured copperplate engraving by L. Labrousse is remarkable. The artist behind this masterpiece is Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur who directed Labrousse in creating this work for his publication "L'antique Rome". This historical and picturesque description provides valuable insights into the social classes and clothing styles prevalent during that era. The image captures not only the essence of Roman society but also highlights their affinity for horses as seen with several animals depicted including racehorses, ponies, shire horses, stallions - showcasing their importance in daily life. This print offers us a window into both history and artistry; it allows us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of ancient Rome while reminding us of its enduring influence on our modern world.
