EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1596 showcases the esteemed Claudius Caesar, a prominent figure in ancient Roman history. Created by an anonymous Italian artist of the 16th century, this print is now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. Claudius Caesar, also referred to as Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, was the fourth Roman emperor who reigned from 41 AD until his death in 54 AD. In this portrait, he is depicted in profile with a sense of caution and vigilance. His adopted name "Nero" can be seen inscribed beneath his image. Symbolism plays an important role in this artwork; notably, the griffin positioned next to Claudius represents watchfulness and courage. Additionally, an ostrich feather adorns his headwear, adding an air of elegance and prestige to his appearance. The laurel leaves encircling Claudius' visage are symbolic of victory and achievement. As brother to Emperor Tiberius, he held significant influence within the Roman Empire during its Renaissance period. This exquisite engraving captures both the regality and complexity of Claudius Caesar's character. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during the Renaissance era while providing us with insight into one of Rome's most intriguing emperors. Bridgeman Images proudly presents this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and admire.
