EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of Rome" takes us back in time to the era of empires and legends. The anonymous artists, Franco Estius and Frederik de Wit, skillfully depict the essence of Rome through a rich tapestry of symbolism. At the center of the composition sits the goddess Rome herself, regal and commanding on her ornate chair. Her outstretched arms hold a pedestal with a statuette representing victory, symbolizing Rome's triumphs throughout history. Surrounding her are representations of Europe, Asia, and Africa - continents that have been influenced by Roman culture. Intriguingly, we see Romulus and Remus being suckled by the mythical she-wolf known as Lupa Romana. This iconic scene represents the founding myth of Rome itself. The presence of an ox, lion, and crocodile further alludes to Roman conquests across land and sea. The Tiber River flows gracefully beneath them all while stanzas in Latin verse adorn each side. These verses serve as poetic reminders of Rome's grandeur and power. Quint Lox masterfully captures this allegorical masterpiece through his lens, preserving its intricate details for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported into a world where mythology intertwines with history – reminding us why Rome remains an eternal city etched deeply within our collective consciousness.
