EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Apotheosis of Faustina, Wife of Marcus Aurelius" takes us back to ancient Rome and the grandeur of its emperors. The artwork, housed in the Museum of Capitol, showcases the wife of Marcus Aurelius, Faustina, being elevated to divine status through apotheosis. The scene is filled with symbolism and mythological references. Faustina is depicted surrounded by celestial beings as she ascends towards the heavens on a chariot drawn by winged horses. This portrayal signifies her transformation into a goddess after her death. The artist from the English School in the 19th century beautifully captures this momentous event with intricate details and delicate lines. The engraving was originally featured in Victor Duruy's "History of Rome" published in 1884. Through this print, we are transported to an era where Roman emperors were revered as gods and their spouses held significant influence within society. It serves as a reminder of the power dynamics and religious beliefs that shaped ancient Rome. As we admire this piece from our private collection today, it allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill behind it and its historical significance. The Apotheosis of Faustina invites us to explore not only Roman history but also themes such as divinity, mortality, and legacy that continue to fascinate us centuries later.
