EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Dieux lares" takes us back to ancient Rome, immersing us in the divine and earthly realms. Created by a French School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases two individuals standing amidst a row of suburban houses. Intriguingly, these figures are not ordinary mortals but gods themselves. A cornucopia symbolizing abundance rests at their feet, signifying their divine power over prosperity and blessings. They exude an otherworldly aura as they stand tall and regal. These deities are known as Lares, guardians who protect human dwellings from harm. In this illustration for "L'Habitation Humaine" by Charles Garnier and A Ammann (Hachette, 1892), we witness the fusion of heavenly divinities with everyday life. The intricate engravings bring out every detail of the housing structures that surround them—each dwelling place representing a sanctuary under their watchful eyes. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of ancient Roman culture while reminding us of our collective need for protection and shelter. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but be transported to a time when gods walked among humans—a testament to both our fascination with antiquity and our eternal quest for meaning in our own lives.
