EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable painting titled "Cato Uticensis" by Guillaume Lethiere, created around 1795. The artwork depicts Cato the Younger, a renowned statesman and orator of the late Roman Republic. A follower of Stoic philosophy, Cato was known for his unwavering moral integrity and staunch opposition to corruption. In this neoclassical masterpiece, Cato is portrayed as a symbol of political resistance against Julius Caesar during the Roman Civil War. His decision to take his own life rather than submit to Caesar's rule exemplifies his unyielding principles and dedication to preserving the ideals of justice and freedom. Displayed in the esteemed State Hermitage collection in St Petersburg, this painting captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Lethiere skillfully portrays Cato with meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing his stoic demeanor amidst a backdrop that exudes classical elegance.

Through its masterful execution and profound subject matter, "Cato Uticensis" stands as an enduring testament to human resilience in times of adversity.
