EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in ancient Roman history, showcasing the legendary figure of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus on his farm. Taken from a hand-colored woodcut of a 19th-century illustration, this vintage artwork transports us back to 458 BC when Cincinnatus accepted the dictatorship of Rome from the Senate. In this scene, we witness Cincinnatus, a humble farmer turned Roman general, standing amidst his fields as he receives the weighty responsibility bestowed upon him by the Senate. The image exudes an air of historic significance and portrays the essence of classical civilization. Cincinnatus' story is one that resonates throughout Europe's ancient history. As Rome faced external threats and internal strife during its early years, Cincinnatus emerged as a symbol of selfless leadership and civic duty. His willingness to set aside his agrarian life in order to guide Rome through troubled times earned him admiration for generations to come. The artistry showcased in this print beautifully captures both the grandeur and simplicity associated with ancient Rome. It serves as a reminder not only of Cincinnatus' significant role but also highlights the timeless connection between man and land. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back over two millennia ago to witness an extraordinary moment where power was willingly embraced by an honorable farmer-turned-dictator – Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus – forever etching his name into European history.
