EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1802 showcases an exquisite Ancient Roman candelabra. The print, created by Italian artist Lorenzo Roccheggiani, depicts three different candelabras with intricate designs and ornate details. The first two candelabras feature elegant swans and sphinxes, discovered in fragments in Pantanello, Tivoli. These magnificent pieces were restored by French sculptor Antoine-Guillaume Granjacquet. The third candelabra is adorned with a serpent and a bird's nest, currently housed in the Kircherian Museum. Pietro Ruga skillfully engraved this copperplate illustration based on Roccheggiani's original work for his book "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans". This particular print captures the essence of ancient Rome's rich cultural heritage. The image showcases the beauty of these candlesticks as decorative objects that illuminated rooms during antiquity. Their elaborate designs add elegance to any interior space even centuries later. This mesmerizing engraving provides a glimpse into early 19th-century Italy while celebrating the timeless allure of ancient Roman culture. Its detailed depiction invites viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship behind these historical artifacts. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and connect us to our past.
