EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Quaestor" takes us back in time to ancient Rome, offering a glimpse into the world of public officials and financial affairs. Engraved by Labrousse and published in 1796, this color lithograph showcases the exquisite talent of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur. The Quaestor, depicted in full-length standing position, exudes authority and importance. Draped in traditional Roman attire, adorned with symbols of power and responsibility, the Quaestor commands attention. With one hand pointing towards an unseen object or direction and the other gesturing with confidence, it is evident that this official possesses great knowledge and expertise. Surrounded by classical architecture as a backdrop, this illustration captures the essence of ancient Rome's grandeur. The meticulously detailed robes flow gracefully around the figure's body while emphasizing their status within society. This print from L'Antique Rome not only serves as a visual representation but also educates viewers about historical customs and practices. It offers insight into how financial matters were managed during that era under the supervision of such esteemed individuals. Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork continues to inspire awe for its artistic brilliance while providing valuable glimpses into our rich past.
