EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a study for an illustration in Tacitus' "Tibere, ou Les Six Premiers Livres des Annales" dating back to the 18th century. The artwork, created by French artist Hubert Francois Gravelot, depicts a scene from ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Tiberius. In this image, we are transported to a Roman bedchamber adorned with a luxurious bed canopy. A group of individuals is gathered around the bedside, showcasing their grief and sorrow. Among them is a young child who seems deeply affected by the somber atmosphere. Gravelot's intricate ink drawing skillfully portrays the emotions and dynamics within this poignant moment. The attention to detail brings forth an authentic representation of ancient Roman life while also capturing universal themes of loss and mourning. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork serves as a testament to Gravelot's talent as well as his dedication to historical accuracy. Through his work, he invites viewers to delve into literature and explore different eras through art. The combination of history, artistry, and storytelling makes this piece not only visually striking but also intellectually stimulating. It stands as a reminder that art has the power to transport us across time and space while evoking deep emotional connections with our shared human experiences.
