EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Ponitifex maximus or chief high priest, ancient Rome" takes us back to the grandeur and mystique of ancient Roman society. The image showcases the esteemed Ponitifex maximus, the chief high priest of the College of Pontiffs in Rome. Dressed in a crimson-edged toga praetexta, he stands before a sacrificial altar inside a temple adorned with burnt offerings. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by L. Labrousse beautifully captures the intricate details of this historical scene under the direction of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. This print is part of his larger work called "L'antique Rome, ou description historique et pittoresque" (Ancient Rome, or historical and picturesque description), published in Paris in 1796. The image evokes a sense of reverence and awe as we witness an important religious ritual taking place. It offers insight into ancient Roman society's deep connection with religion and their elaborate ceremonies surrounding sacrifices. Through this artwork, we are transported to a time long gone but still preserved through engravings like these. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and cultural heritage while also highlighting the craftsmanship and artistic talent that went into creating such detailed prints.
