EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Roman goddess Abundantia, also known as Abbondanza, as she gracefully pours an abundant flow of fruits and grains from the iconic Horn of Plenty, or cornucopia. The goddess, symbolizing the abundance and prosperity of the harvest, is depicted in the image with a radiant smile and an inviting gesture, as if inviting us to partake in the bountiful blessings of nature. The exquisite detail in this copperplate engraving, created by Giacomo Bossi after an illustration by A. DeAngelis, highlights the intricate folds of Abundantia's flowing robes and the intricate designs adorning her headdress. The cornucopia, overflowing with an array of fruits, vegetables, and grains, adds to the overall sense of abundance and prosperity. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome and its enduring influence on Western civilization. The image was produced as part of Pietro Paolo Montagnani-Mirabili's "Il Museo Capitolino," a collection of engravings depicting various artifacts and sculptures from the Capitoline Museum in Rome. The museum, which holds an extensive collection of ancient Roman art and artifacts, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Rome and the Roman Empire. The intricate copperplate engraving process, which involves the transfer of an image from a copper plate to paper using a printing press, adds to the visual appeal and longevity of this stunning work of art. This print is a beautiful addition to any collection of classical art or Roman antiquities, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and enduring influence of ancient Rome on the world.
