EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a collection of Roman metal and terracotta oil lamps, dating back to 1802. The image features four distinct lamps, each with its own unique design and charm. The first two lamps are made of metal and adorned with intricate dolphin motifs, while the third lamp is crafted from terracotta and displays a fascinating chimera figure. Lastly, there is a lamp on a pillar discovered in Florence, adding an architectural element to the composition. These ancient artifacts were part of the Profane Museum at the Vatican Library during that time. The engraving was created by Pietro Ruga based on an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani for his publication "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans". The detailed craftsmanship showcased in these lamps reflects the artistic skill prevalent during ancient Rome. Their ornate designs make them not only functional objects but also decorative pieces that would have added elegance to any interior space. This print captures both the historical significance of these Roman oil lamps as well as their aesthetic appeal. It serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations through art and offers us a glimpse into their daily lives through this exquisite collection.
