EDITORS COMMENTS
The Egyptian Obelisks of Rome stand as timeless symbols of ancient majesty and imperial power. This print captures three iconic obelisks brought from Heliopolis to Rome by Emperors Augustus, Constantine, and Caligula.
Emperor Augustus 1's obelisk, towering proudly in the city, speaks to the grandeur of Roman conquest and the appropriation of Egyptian culture. Emperor Constantine 2's obelisk, consecrated to the sun god, radiates a sense of divine authority and celestial connection. And Emperor Caligula's obelisk, now residing in St. Peter's Basilica, exudes a mysterious aura that hints at its tumultuous history.
Each obelisk tells a story of ambition, power, and legacy - standing as monumental testaments to the emperors who sought to immortalize themselves through these ancient artifacts. The intricate hand-colored engraving from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's Picture Book for Children adds an extra layer of artistic beauty to this historical depiction.
As you gaze upon this image, let yourself be transported back in time to when these magnificent structures first graced the streets of Rome. Feel the weight of history pressing down on you as you marvel at the enduring legacy left behind by these mighty rulers. The Egyptian Obelisks of Rome are not just relics from a distant past; they are living reminders of human ambition and achievement that continue to inspire awe and wonder today.
