EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving depicts the Roman actor Maccus, as depicted in Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages, published in 1796. Maccus, a renowned actor of ancient Rome, is shown here in the midst of a theatrical performance. Dressed in the traditional attire of a Roman actor, he wears a pallium, a simple cloak, and a toga, which is draped over one shoulder. The toga is adorned with a broad stripe, signifying his status as an actor. In his left hand, he holds a fan, a prop commonly used by actors to create dramatic effects on stage. His right hand is raised in a gesture of appeal to the audience, inviting them to engage with the story being told. The intricate details of Maccus' costume, as well as the backdrop of the ancient Roman theater, are beautifully rendered in this engraving, providing a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Roman theater. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning work of art that transports us back in time to the world of ancient Rome and its fascinating people.
