EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to ancient Rome as we witness a profound moment of consultation between Tarquin the Elder and Attus Nevius, the revered augur. Painted by Sebastiano Ricci in the 17th century, this masterpiece captures the essence of classical Roman culture with its rich symbolism and meticulous attention to detail. The composition centers around Tarquin, a powerful figure known for his wisdom and strategic prowess. With an air of anticipation, he leans forward attentively while engaging in deep conversation with Attus Nevius. The augur, dressed in traditional Roman attire adorned with intricate patterns and symbols, exudes an aura of mysticism as he holds a dove - a sacred creature believed to possess divine insight. As our eyes wander across the painting's exquisite landscape filled with lush greenery and architectural marvels reminiscent of ancient Rome, we can almost feel ourselves being drawn into this mystical encounter. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to every brushstroke, further enhancing the dramatic atmosphere surrounding these two figures. This artwork serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with divination and prophecy throughout history. It invites us to contemplate the age-old question: Can mortal beings truly glimpse into their future? Through Ricci's skillful interpretation of this historical event, we are reminded that even in our modern world driven by science and reason, there is still room for wonderment at life's mysteries.
