EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating oil on canvas painting titled "Cicero and his Friends, Atticus and Quintus, at his Villa at Arpinum" takes us back to the 18th century. Created by Richard Wilson, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. In this idyllic scene, we witness a gathering of esteemed individuals amidst the serene beauty of an Italian estate. The central figure is none other than Marcus Cicero himself - a renowned orator and philosopher from ancient Rome. Surrounding him are his dear friends Atticus and Quintus, engaged in deep conversation under the warm Mediterranean sun. The landscape that envelops them exudes tranquility with its rural charm. The remote setting adds to the allure of this picturesque moment captured on canvas. It transports viewers to an Arcadian realm where time seems to stand still. Wilson's masterful brushstrokes bring life to every detail – from the lush greenery that frames the composition to each individual's expressive features. This painting not only showcases Western artistry but also offers a glimpse into Roman society during Cicero's era. As we admire this remarkable piece, we can't help but be captivated by its timeless appeal. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance, reminding us of Cicero's enduring influence as well as our own fascination with classical antiquity.
