EDITORS COMMENTS
by Luigi Ademollo is a captivating print that transports us back to ancient Rome. This 19th-century artwork beautifully captures the grandeur and solemnity of a significant historical event. In this scene, we witness an elaborate procession honoring Emperor Trajan, who has passed away. The ashes of the revered emperor are being carried in a magnificent urn atop an intricately decorated altar. A column dedicated to Trajan looms majestically in the background, symbolizing his legacy and achievements. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as he portrays mourners dressed in classical Roman attire, both men and women grieving for their beloved leader. The somber atmosphere is intensified by the presence of religious figures performing sacrificial rituals at a temple nearby. Luigi Ademollo masterfully uses etching and aquatint techniques on laid paper to create depth and texture within the composition. The contrast between light and shadow adds drama to this poignant moment frozen in time. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this piece serves as a testament to Ademollo's skillful interpretation of history through art. It allows viewers to immerse themselves in ancient Roman culture while contemplating themes such as power, mortality, and remembrance. "The Ashes of Trajan Carried in a Triumphal Procession" invites us into an evocative journey where past meets present—a visual reminder that even great emperors eventually return to
