EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Caesar Possessing Himself of the Treasure in the Temple of Saturn, 1890" takes us back to ancient Rome, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history. The image showcases an engraving from Edmund Ollier's book "Cassells Illustrated Universal History Vol. II - Rome" published in 1890. In this dramatic scene, we witness Gaius Julius Caesar himself standing inside the grand Temple of Saturn. His hands are raised triumphantly as he claims possession of the temple's treasure. The unknown artist skillfully captures Caesar's commanding presence and his audacious act of seizing wealth for political gain. This powerful illustration not only highlights Caesar's role as an emperor and statesman but also sheds light on the complex relationship between politics and religion during ancient times. It symbolizes both power and betrayal, as Caesar surrenders to his ambition while disregarding religious sanctity. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. Through this artwork, we are transported to a bygone era when Rome was at its zenith, showcasing its architectural marvels like the Temple of Saturn. As we contemplate this mesmerizing piece, it serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to immortalize significant moments in human history.
