EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Livia Drusilla, a remarkable woman who lived during the transition from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Born around 55 BC and passing away in AD 29, she was renowned as the wife of Octavian, later known as Emperor Augustus Caesar. The artist behind this exquisite print is Sadeler or Saedeler, Aegidius (1570-1629), showcasing his exceptional talent in capturing Livia's essence. The fine details of her regal attire and intricate drapery reflect her status as an empress. Her plaited hair adds to her elegance and poise. Livia Drusilla was not only recognized for her beauty but also for her intelligence and ambition. As the mother of Emperor Tiberius, she attempted to exert control over the government upon his accession. Known for her dignity, Livia played a significant role in shaping Rome's political landscape during this crucial period. This print belongs to The Stapleton Collection and is part of a private collection today. It serves as a testament to Livia Drusilla's enduring legacy as an influential matriarch within ancient Rome. With its script-like background featuring a portrait and poem, it captures both the artistic excellence of Flemish craftsmanship and pays homage to one of history's most fascinating women.
