EDITORS COMMENTS
Cloelia Crossing the Tiber," a captivating engraving by the renowned 16th century Italian artist, Giulio Bonasone, transports us back to ancient Rome. This masterpiece, created in the 1540s, depicts the legendary story of Cloelia, a brave Roman virgin who saved the lives of her twin babies during the Siege of Rome in 507 BC. In the print, Cloelia is shown riding a horse, her long flowing robes billowing in the wind, as she fearlessly crosses the River Tiber. Two horses follow closely behind, each carrying one of her precious infants. The river, a significant geographical feature in Rome, is depicted with a calm and serene surface, reflecting the surrounding landscape. Bonasone's intricate detail and masterful use of contrast in this black and white engraving bring the scene to life. The artist's skillful representation of the animals, particularly the horses, adds a sense of authenticity and realism to the image. This print, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy, is now a part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us through time and connect us to the stories and history of the past. Cloelia's courage and determination in the face of adversity continue to inspire us today, making this print a timeless piece of art and a valuable addition to any collection.
