EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Queen of the Amazons with axe and shield" transports us back to ancient Greece. The image depicts a powerful queen, her left breast exposed, holding an axe and shield with confidence and grace. She embodies the legendary female warriors known as the Amazons from Greek mythology. Created by Pieter Bodart in 1764, this copperplate engraving is part of a private collection. It was originally published in Henricus Spoors' book "Deorum et Heroum, Virorum et Mulierum Illustrium Imagines Antiquae Illustatae" in 1715. Spoors himself was a Dutch physician, classical scholar, poet, and writer. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving tool. The Queen's regal expression reflects her royal status while also exuding strength and determination. This portrait captures the essence of femininity intertwined with warrior-like qualities. As we gaze upon this print from the 18th century, we are transported into a world where ancient myths come alive. The Queen's presence commands respect as she stands tall amidst an era filled with tales of heroism and bravery. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art through their Fine Art Finder collection for all to admire and appreciate its historical significance.
