EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching by Christian Bernhard Rode, titled "Scene from Pliny," transports us back in time to ancient Rome. The image, created in 1776, depicts a scene inspired by the works of Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger. In the foreground, we see several figures, including Gaius Caecilius Cilo, a Roman senator and friend of Pliny the Younger, and a man identified as Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, possibly a relative of Pliny the Elder. They are depicted in the act of climbing a hill, perhaps on a visit to a country estate or villa. In the background, the natural beauty of Italy unfolds, with lush greenery, winding roads, and rolling hills. The artist expertly captures the essence of the ancient Roman way of life, with figures engaged in everyday activities and the natural world surrounding them. The etching is a testament to the enduring legacy of Roman culture and the rich heritage of European art. Christian Bernhard Rode, a German artist, created this etching in brown black on paper using the intaglio technique. The intricate details and subtle shading bring the scene to life, inviting the viewer to explore the intricacies of the image and imagine the stories behind the figures and the landscape. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and complexity of ancient Rome.
