EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Gaius Fabricius Luscinus Monocularis, the one-eyed" takes us back to ancient Rome in the 3rd century BC. The portrait depicts Gaius Fabricius Luscinus, a prominent Roman consul known for his diplomatic skills and negotiations with Pyrrhus, the King of Epirus. The detailed copperplate engraving by Pieter Bodart beautifully captures the essence of this historical figure. Despite its age, the print has retained its antique charm and showcases Bodart's mastery as an engraver during the early 18th century. Gaius Fabricius Luscinus is portrayed with a single eye, earning him the moniker "Monocularis". This unique feature adds intrigue to his already fascinating persona. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when diplomacy played a crucial role in international relations. The portrait exudes strength and wisdom; it is evident that Gaius Fabricius was not only a skilled politician but also a respected leader within ancient Rome. His contribution to history cannot be understated. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into our past. It reminds us of the enduring power of visual art to capture moments in time and preserve them for future generations.
