EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Chairs in the Vatican Museum. 1802" transports us back to the grandeur of ancient Rome. The print showcases two remarkable chairs displayed in the Vatican Museum, each with its own unique history and significance. The first chair depicted is the Sedia stercoraria, an antique red seat that holds great historical value. Its vibrant color stands out against the monochromatic backdrop, drawing our attention to its intricate design and craftsmanship. This chair symbolizes power and authority, reminding us of the influential figures who once occupied it. Next to it stands a marble chair from the statue of Menander, a renowned poet and dramatist from ancient Greece. This elegant piece exudes sophistication with its smooth curves and detailed carvings. It serves as a testament to Menander's literary contributions and his lasting impact on Greek culture. Engraved by Pietro Ruga after an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani, this print captures not only these exquisite chairs but also provides insight into religious, civil, and military costumes worn by Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks, and Romans during antiquity. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how furniture can transcend time while preserving stories from centuries past.
