EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A representation of January, 1757" takes us back to the elegant world of 18th-century Rome. Created by the talented artist Bernard de Montfaucon, this engraving is a plate from his renowned work Supplement au livre de L antiquite expliquee et representee en figures. In this enchanting scene, we see a Roman consul standing proudly in full-length robes. The female figure exudes power and grace as she holds an open letter with intricate lettering. Her pointed finger seems to cast a magical spell or perhaps guide our attention towards something hidden within the image. Surrounded by smoke rising from an urn and a burning plant resembling clover, this allegorical representation of January evokes both mystery and nature's transformative powers. Two birds - a rooster and a bird perched on her shoulder - add further symbolism to the composition. Montfaucon's masterful use of monochrome art media brings out every detail in this exquisite print. The fine lines and delicate shading create depth while capturing the essence of 18th-century fashion. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to Italy's countryside during that era; it serves as both a historical document and an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts worldwide.
