EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning "Design for a Dish with Portraits of the Roman Emperors Caesar, Claudius, and Otho" created by Theodore de Bry in the 16th century. The circular dish is adorned with intricate engravings depicting the three powerful emperors from ancient Rome. In the center, Julius Caesar's portrait stands out, exuding authority and strength with his laurel wreath crown. Flanking him are Emperor Claudius and Marcus Salvius Otho Caesar Augustus, each captured in remarkable detail. The meticulous craftsmanship of this decorative piece is evident in every line and curve. It transports us back to an era when these men ruled over vast territories, shaping history with their actions. The medallions surrounding the central portraits add further depth to this artistic creation. As we admire this work of art, we can't help but imagine it as part of an extravagant feast or celebration held in a grand country estate during Renaissance times. Perhaps jesters entertained guests while barrels filled with mouth-watering barbecue dishes were prepared nearby. Preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this Netherlandish engraving serves as a testament to De Bry's talent as well as our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations. Its presence reminds us that even centuries later, these influential figures continue to captivate our imagination through their legacy and stories passed down through generations.
