EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Galba, the 7th Emperor of the Roman Empire. Created by Rudolph Wyssenbach and printed by Andreas Gesner in Zurich in 1559, this woodcut captures the essence of ancient Rome with remarkable precision. Galba's profile is depicted with great attention to detail, highlighting his regal stature and commanding presence. This portrayal offers a glimpse into the era known as the Year of the Four Emperors, a tumultuous period in Roman history marked by political instability and power struggles. The woodcut itself is a testament to Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch's artistic prowess, showcasing his ability to bring historical figures to life through intricate lines and delicate shading. The image is part of a private collection that has preserved this valuable piece of art for generations. Accompanying Galba's portrait are ancient coins from the Julio-Claudian dynasty, emphasizing his role as an imperial figurehead during this significant time in Roman history. These coins serve as tangible reminders of Galba's reign and provide insight into the monetary system that governed daily life during his rule. Overall, this print transports viewers back in time to witness one man's journey through power and influence within one of history's most renowned civilizations – Ancient Rome.
