EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages (1796), showcases two iconic figures from ancient mythology: Diana, the goddess of the hunt, and Dido, the legendary queen of Carthage. Diana, depicted in the image, is shown in her classic form as a skilled and powerful hunter. She is dressed in a flowing gown, adorned with a diadem and carrying a quiver full of arrows on her back. Her bow is poised, ready to release a deadly arrow into the forest beyond. The goddess of the hunt was revered for her strength, agility, and independence, making her a popular subject in art and literature throughout history. In contrast, Dido is depicted in a Phrygian dress, a traditional costume associated with the ancient Phrygian people of Anatolia. The dress is characterized by its long, flowing sleeves and a distinctive pointed headdress, which is often adorned with a veil. Dido was the queen of Carthage, a prosperous Phoenician city in North Africa. She is best known for her tragic love story with Aeneas, the legendary founder of Rome. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the expressive faces of the figures, are a testament to the skill of the engraver. The use of handcoloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, bringing the figures to life and transporting us back to the ancient world.
