EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Janus" by the English School from the 19th century. Held in a private collection, this artwork is a remarkable representation of Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions. The engraving was created as an illustration for "The Pantheon" a renowned publication that delves into the mythical tales of Heathen Gods and illustrious heroes. This particular edition, published in 1806 by Andrew Tooke, features Janus as one of its focal points. With its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this print transports us back to ancient times. It offers a glimpse into the rich history and legends surrounding Janus, who was often depicted with two faces looking in opposite directions – symbolizing his ability to see both past and future simultaneously. As we admire this historic artwork, we are reminded of the significance attached to Janus within ancient mythology. His presence evokes thoughts of new beginnings, transitions between time periods or spaces, and even duality itself. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this piece from their Fine Art Finder collection. Through their lens, we can appreciate not only the artistic brilliance behind this engraving but also gain insight into our shared human fascination with gods and heroes from antiquity.
