EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Favourites of the Emperor Honorius" we are transported to the ancient Roman court, where a scene of delicate beauty unfolds. Engraved by J. Stephenson and based on the original work by John William Waterhouse, this Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece captures a moment of tenderness and tranquility. The focal point of the image is a group of birds gracefully perched on an intricately designed feeding tray. Doves, known for their symbolism of peace and purity, mingle with guinea fowl in perfect harmony. Their vibrant plumage adds splashes of color against a backdrop reminiscent of an opulent Roman palace. As we delve deeper into the composition, our attention is drawn to Flavius Honorius himself, the young emperor who ruled from 384 to 423 AD. He stands beside his feathered companions with an expression that exudes both power and gentleness. The bond between man and nature is evident as he delicately feeds these creatures from his hand. This enchanting artwork not only showcases Waterhouse's mastery in capturing intricate details but also invites us to reflect upon themes such as loyalty, grace, and harmony within nature's realm. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and authority, moments of serenity can be found through simple acts like feeding birds. Displayed proudly in private collections around the world, this timeless engraving continues to captivate viewers with its ethereal beauty and narrative richness.
