EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is taken from Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki's plate II of his work "Life of Great Germans," published in 1782. The image depicts Emperor Avitus of the Roman Empire, who ruled from 455 to 456 AD. Avitus was an unusual choice for greatness, as he was not of Roman descent but rather a Gallo-Roman from Gaul, modern-day France. Chodowiecki masterfully captures the emperor's regal demeanor, with Avitus depicted in the center, wearing imperial robes and a diadem, surrounded by various figures representing the continents and European countries. The scene is set against the backdrop of ancient Rome, with the Colosseum and other iconic Roman structures visible in the background. The intricate etching showcases Chodowiecki's exceptional skill as an artist, with meticulous attention to detail in the lettering, figures, and textures. The black and white contrast adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to the 18th century and the rich cultural heritage of Europe. This illustration is now part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is displayed as a testament to the enduring legacy of Chodowiecki and the historical significance of Emperor Avitus. The image continues to captivate viewers and inspire curiosity about the ancient Roman Empire and the diverse figures who shaped its history.
