The Body of Hadrian Lying in State - A Glimpse into Ancient Roman Mourning
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by Luigi Ademollo in the late 18th to early 19th century, transports us back to ancient Rome. The image depicts the body of Emperor Hadrian lying in state next to his grand mausoleum, a testament to his power and legacy. The aquatint technique used by Ademollo adds depth and texture to the scene, enhancing our connection with this historical moment. As we gaze upon the etching on laid paper, we are transported to a time when mourning was an elaborate affair filled with symbolism and reverence. Surrounded by a somber crowd of mourners, both men and women pay their respects to the deceased emperor. Flaming torches illuminate the scene, casting flickering shadows on their grief-stricken faces. This visual contrast between light and dark emphasizes the solemnity of the occasion. Ademollo's attention to detail is evident as he captures every architectural element of Hadrian's mausoleum with precision. The building stands tall as a symbol of imperial power while also serving as a final resting place for one of Rome's most influential figures. Through this artwork, we gain insight into ancient Roman culture – its rituals surrounding death and remembrance. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, history continues to fascinate us through art forms like this remarkable etching by Luigi Ademollo.
