EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient Rome as it depicts the renowned Roman historian Suetonius diligently writing his masterpiece, "The Twelve Caesars". Created in 121 AD, this monumental work chronicles the lives and reigns of the Roman emperors. In the background, statues of these very emperors stand tall within the Senate building (SPQR), serving as a visual representation of the subjects Suetonius is meticulously documenting. At lower right, an imperial eagle and regalia symbolize power and authority while adding depth to this historical tableau. The Latin title and publication details elegantly adorn the bottom section of this artwork, emphasizing its significance in preserving history for future generations. Originally published in a 1691 Dutch edition by Johannes G. Graevius, a German philologist, with Zyll and Schouten as Dutch publishers; this engraving showcases remarkable craftsmanship from that era. Its monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this piece. Through this image's intricate symbolism and attention to detail, we are transported back to ancient Rome—a time when politics shaped empires and influential figures like Suetonius dedicated their lives to chronicling these extraordinary events. Todd-White Art Photography has masterfully captured not only an exquisite piece of art but also a window into our rich historical past.
