EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "Nero, 1802" transports us back to the early 19th century. The print showcases the artistic talent of Philippe Chery, a renowned French artist of that era. It is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Jean Charles Le Vacher De Charnois' comprehensive work on costumes and theatre from around the world. The image depicts Nero, an infamous Roman emperor known for his tyrannical rule during the first century AD. Dressed in a regal tunic, Nero stands with an air of aversion as he looks away from the viewer. The hand tinting adds depth and vibrancy to this historic portrayal. Chery's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the carefully crafted costume to Nero's posture and expression. This full-length portrait captures both the grandeur and complexity of one of history's most controversial figures. As we admire this piece, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. Through art like this, we gain insight into different time periods and cultures while being entertained by their stories. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite print for us to enjoy today. Its presence serves as a testament to the enduring power of art in capturing moments from our past and allowing them to live on through generations.
