EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the infamous Roman Emperor Caligula indulging in a rather peculiar form of entertainment - dining with his beloved horse, Incitatus. The image transports us back to ancient Rome, where power and madness often intertwined. Caligula's eccentricity knew no bounds as he lavished attention on his favorite steed, treating him as an esteemed guest at the supper table. The emperor's obsession with Incitatus was well-known throughout the empire, and this engraving captures that bizarre spectacle. The scene is filled with historical details, from the opulent furniture adorning the room to the black and white illustration style reminiscent of 19th-century artistry. It is taken from Nathaniel Wanley's "The Wonders of the Little World; or, A General History of Man" published in London in 1806. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Caligula's madness but also of the complexities and excesses of imperial rule. It serves as a stark reminder that power can corrupt even those who hold it most firmly. Through this engraving by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into a world where emperors dined alongside horses and history unfolded amidst both grandeur and insanity.
