EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lupercalia (recto), and Sketches of Figures (verso)" takes us back to the 18th century, capturing the essence of ancient Roman traditions. Created by the talented British artist Sir James Thornhill, this artwork showcases his mastery in pen and brown ink drawing. The image depicts a scene from Lupercalia, an ancient fertility festival celebrated in Rome. A crowd gathers around as men dressed in traditional attire prepare for a sacrificial ritual. In the foreground, a group of boys anxiously await their turn to participate in this age-old tradition. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and energy. Thornhill's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures each figure with precision and fluidity using brown ink on ivory wove paper. The letterbox format adds depth to the composition, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully into this historic moment. As we admire this remarkable piece of art at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back in time to witness an important aspect of Roman culture. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and how ancient customs continue to shape our present-day celebrations. Sir James Thornhill's Lupercalia offers us a glimpse into history through his artistic lens, reminding us that art has always been a powerful medium for preserving cultural traditions across generations.
