EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Allegorical figure of Rome instructed by Time and Minerva" transports us back to the ancient world. Created in 1796 by L. F. Labrousse, this handcoloured copperplate print showcases the rich history and symbolism associated with Rome. In the image, we see an allegorical representation of Rome draped in a palla and stola, being enlightened by two powerful figures - Time and Minerva. Minerva stands tall with her helmet, armor, and shield while accompanied by her wise owl. She imparts knowledge upon Rome about its own storied past. Time is depicted holding a scythe as he points towards a bas relief, symbolizing the passage of time and the importance of learning from history. The scene exudes wisdom, power, and reverence for antiquity. Labrousse's attention to detail brings this allegory to life; every line etched into the copperplate tells a story. This engraving was part of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur's publication "L'antique Rome" which aimed to provide both historical information and picturesque descriptions of Ancient Rome. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across centuries. It encapsulates not only the beauty but also the significance that ancient civilizations hold for our present society. Through intricate details and vibrant colors meticulously added by Labrousse's hand-colouring technique, this print invites us to explore our connection with history while appreciating its artistic brilliance.
