EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Plate 8: Otho in profile facing left, from The Twelve Caesars, created between 1610-40 by an anonymous artist. The image showcases a man dressed in ancient Roman attire, wearing a regal helmet adorned with laurel leaves. Identified as Marcus Salvius Otho Caesar Augustus, this portrait depicts the emperor during the seventeenth century. The etching and engraving technique used to create this artwork adds depth and texture to the piece. The intricate details of the armor and facial features are beautifully captured in this monochromatic composition. Located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this historical artifact is a testament to Italy's rich heritage. It serves as a reminder of Rome's imperial past and its significant contributions to art and culture. The side view perspective allows us to observe Otho's strong profile, emphasizing his authority and power as a ruler. His stoic expression hints at his role as a military leader engaged in warfare for his country. Raffaello Schiaminossi is credited with preserving this remarkable piece through photography, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its artistic value.
