EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Apotheosis of the Roman Emperor Hadrian" engraving, created by the German School in the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and depicts an extraordinary scene from ancient Rome. Taken from "Illustrierte Mythologie, Gottersagen und Kultusformen der Hellenen, Romer, Aegypter und Inder" published in Leipzig in 1867 by Otto Spamer, this illustration beautifully captures the grandeur and symbolism associated with Roman mythology. The image portrays a ceremonial procession led by priests and clergy representing various religious orders. As they ascend towards the heavens on a divine journey, gods and goddesses surround them in all their glory. The architecture showcased in this engraving reflects the opulence of ancient Rome's imperial era. Hadrian himself stands at the center of attention as he is elevated to god-like status through apotheosis - his transformation into a deity after death. This depiction emphasizes both his earthly power as emperor and his divine connection to higher realms. Through intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this engraving transports viewers back to an era where religion played a significant role in society. It serves as a testament to human fascination with divinity and immortality throughout history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art for us to appreciate its historical significance today.
