EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of sacrifice, meticulously copied from Trajan's Column by the talented artist Leon Davent in the mid-16th century. The etching showcases an ancient ritual taking place during the reign of Emperor Trajan, who ruled in the 2nd century. A group of men, women, and children gather around an altar as a young boy prepares to offer an ox as a sacrificial offering. The intricate details of this Renaissance artwork transport us back in time, allowing us to witness this historical event unfold. The architectural elements surrounding the scene indicate that it takes place in a grand outdoor setting within Trajan's column monument itself. Davent's skillful rendering evokes a sense of awe and reverence among those present at this sacred ceremony. Their expressions range from curiosity to devotion as they watch with anticipation. This piece is part of the School of Fontainebleau tradition, hailing from France and exemplifying its rich artistic heritage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to both Davent's talent and his dedication to preserving history through artistry. It invites viewers to reflect on ancient customs while appreciating the enduring power of visual storytelling across centuries.
