EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Lucius Aelius Caesar, the adopted son of the renowned Roman Emperor Hadrian, gazes intently out at the viewer. Born in 101 AD, Lucius Aelius Caesar was the father of Emperor Lucius Verus and a significant figure in the Roman Empire during the 2nd century AD. The portrait is a beautiful copperplate engraving, taken from the seminal work "The Roman Monarchy" by Abraham Bogaert, published in Utrecht in 1697. The meticulous detail in the engraving showcases the intricacies of Roman portraiture during the 17th century. Lucius Aelius Caesar is depicted wearing the toga, the traditional Roman garment, signifying his status as a Roman nobleman. The toga is draped elegantly over his shoulders, with the rich folds accentuating the sculptural quality of the image. Lucius Aelius Caesar's facial features are striking, with a strong jawline, piercing eyes, and a furrowed brow, conveying a sense of wisdom and determination. His hair is styled in the classic Roman manner, with a center parting and a neatly combed quiff. The portrait also includes an inscription, which reads "Lucius Aelius Caesar," confirming the identity of the subject. Lucius Aelius Caesar's connection to some of the most famous Roman emperors of antiquity is noteworthy. He was the adopted son of Hadrian, who ruled from 117 to 138 AD, and the father of Lucius Verus, who co-ruled with Marcus Aurelius from 161 to 169 AD. Lucius Aelius Caesar's legacy is further connected to the great Roman emperors, including Titus, Vespasian, and Augustus, as he was part of the Julio-Claudian and Flavian dynasties. This stunning portrait is a testament to the enduring allure of Roman history and the artistry of the 17th century. It offers a glimpse into the life of a pivotal figure in the Roman Empire and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
