EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Antimous, lover of Roman Emperor Hadrian" transports us back to the ancient world of Rome. Created by Pieter Bodart in 1725, this print showcases Antinous, a Bithynian Greek youth who captured the heart of Emperor Hadrian. Antinous was not only a beloved companion but also worshipped as a god and hero after his untimely death. This portrait beautifully captures his allure and timeless beauty. The intricate details in Bodart's copperplate engraving bring out the depth and emotion in Antinous' expression. The image is part of Henricus Spoors Deorum et Heroum collection, which illustrates gods, heroes, men, and women from antiquity. Spoors himself was a Dutch physician and classical scholar who curated these antique images with great care. As we gaze upon this enchanting piece of artistry from the 18th century, we are reminded of the power that love holds across time. Antinous' devotion to Emperor Hadrian transcended societal norms and left an indelible mark on history. This print serves as a window into both ancient Rome's grandeur and its intimate moments—a testament to the enduring nature of human connection throughout centuries past.
