EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Vestal virgin, an iconic symbol of chastity and devotion in ancient Rome. Engraved by Labrousse and published in 1796, this color lithograph brings to life the ethereal beauty of this priestess through intricate details and delicate strokes. Dressed in ecclesiastical attire, the Vestal virgin stands gracefully with an air of serenity. Her flowing gown drapes elegantly around her figure, adorned with ornate patterns that speak to her sacred role within Roman society. In her hands, she holds a golden pitcher and ewer, symbols of purity and offering. The focal point of this illustration is the eternal flame burning brightly behind the Vestal virgin. Representing Vesta, the goddess of hearth and home, this fire serves as a testament to her unwavering dedication to maintaining its perpetual glow. As we gaze at this enchanting image from L'Antique Rome series by Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, we are transported back in time to witness the rituals and traditions that shaped ancient Roman religion. The attention to detail in every aspect - from the intricately designed brazier holding the sacred flame to the meticulous rendering of each fold in her garment - highlights both artistic skill and historical accuracy. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes feelings of reverence for these revered figures who played significant roles within their society's religious practices. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history while celebrating
