EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving by Heinrich Leutemann takes us back in time to Ancient Rome, where sea travel played a crucial role in transporting wild animals for the circus. The image showcases a reconstitution of this historical scene, depicting a ship docked at an embankment with various cages on board. These cages contain an array of exotic creatures, including lions, hippos, and antelopes. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; it allows us to observe the hustle and bustle happening on the dockside as people gather around to witness these magnificent beasts being unloaded from the vessel. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to every element of the print, from the tawny fur of the lions to the vibrant blue waters surrounding them. This engraving not only serves as a visual spectacle but also offers valuable insights into ancient Roman culture and history. It highlights their fascination with exotic animals and their elaborate methods of transportation during that era. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time and given a glimpse into one aspect of daily life in Ancient Rome. Stefano Bianchetti's reproduction ensures that this piece continues to captivate audiences today while preserving its historical significance. As we admire this print, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since those ancient times yet appreciate how art allows us to connect with our pasts.
