EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we find a striking depiction of Agrippina the Younger, the formidable and influential Roman empress, seated next to her son, the future emperor Nero. The image, a beautiful copperplate drawing and engraving, was created by Giacomo Bossi based on a statue housed in the Capitoline Museum in Rome, as documented by Pietro Paolo Montagnani-Mirabili in 1820. Agrippina the Younger (AD 15-59) was the daughter of Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder. She played a significant role in the political landscape of the Roman Empire, acting as a powerful advisor and manipulator behind the scenes. Her most notable achievement was the rise to power of her own son, Nero, whom she carefully groomed to become the emperor. The print showcases Agrippina in a regal pose, dressed in the traditional Roman toga, with an expression of determination and authority. Her son, Nero, is depicted as a young boy, sitting on her lap, gazing up at his mother with admiration and love. This image not only highlights the strong bond between mother and son but also underscores the immense influence Agrippina had on her son's life and eventual reign. The print is a testament to the rich history and classical civilization of ancient Rome. It provides a glimpse into the lives of its most powerful figures and the intricate political dynamics that shaped the Roman Empire. The intricate details captured in the copperplate drawing and engraving by Giacomo Bossi serve to bring this historical moment to life, transporting us back to a time of power, intrigue, and the indomitable spirit of the Roman people.
