EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Scene from Petronius's Satyricon" takes us back in time to a lavish Roman dinner party. Painted by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate engraving beautifully captures the opulence and grandeur of ancient Rome. The scene unfolds as Trimalchio, a wealthy character from Petronius's famous novel, arrives for dinner after a refreshing bath. A servant leads him into the room while another dutifully removes his shoes. In the background, an old man skillfully plays either the tibia or aulos, filling the air with melodious tunes. On a sumptuous dining couch called biclinium, we see a young man and woman waiting attentively to serve their esteemed guest. The intricate details of their attire showcase both historical fashion and social status during that era. This illustration is part of Giulio Ferrario's renowned work on costumes ancient and modern of various cultures around the world. It was included in Pietro Santi Bartoli's Admiranda romananum antiquitatum collection published in Florence in 1843. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported to an era where indulgence and extravagance reigned supreme. It serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also gain insights into Roman society and customs through visual storytelling.
