EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 17th-century print, we are transported back to ancient Rome as Roman centurions and legionnaires gather in anticipation of a commanding speech. The Netherlandish School artist skillfully captures the essence of military discipline and camaraderie in this historic moment. As the officers hold their eagles high and wave banners with pride, they stand before a vast military encampment. Tents stretch out behind them, symbolizing the immense power and organization of the Roman Empire. Each detail meticulously engraved by Jan Luyken brings life to this scene from Abraham Bogaerts' "De Roomsche Monarchy" published in Utrecht in 1697. The centurions and legionnaires listen intently, their eyes fixed on their superior officer who delivers orders that will shape their next battle or campaign. The vexillifer stands tall, carrying the vexillum - a flag bearing symbols representing their respective legions. Meanwhile, the aquilifer proudly holds aloft the sacred eagle standard, an emblem of honor for these brave soldiers. This copperplate engraving not only showcases Luyken's artistic talent but also serves as a window into classical Rome's military might and hierarchical structure. It reminds us of an era when emperors ruled with authority and kings commanded respect. Through this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can almost hear echoes of ancient speeches reverberating across time – reminding us of valorous deeds performed by these dedicated men
