EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Minerva in the diplax, from the colossal statue found at Velletri" takes us back to ancient times, offering a glimpse into the world of classical fashion and clothing. The English School of the 19th century beautifully captures Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, in all her grandeur. The colossal statue discovered at Velletri serves as a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship of ancient civilizations. Standing tall and proud, Minerva's regal presence is enhanced by her intricate dress and costume. Every detail has been meticulously engraved, showcasing the elegance and sophistication prevalent during that era. This print was originally created for Thomas Hope's book "Costume of the Ancients" published in 1841. It aimed to provide readers with an understanding of how people dressed in antiquity. The image transports us back to a time when clothing played a significant role not only in personal expression but also as an indicator of social status. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of our rich cultural heritage and how fashion has evolved over centuries. This engraving invites us to appreciate both the artistic mastery involved in creating such statues as well as their historical significance.
