EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning title page from the 1659 edition of Caius Velleius Paterculus cum Selectis Variorum Notis. The focal point of the image is a powerful Roman warrior, positioned in front of a chaotic battlefield. With his profile turned to the right, he firmly holds a shield displaying the text of the title, while his left arm grasps a gleaming sword. Intriguing details fill both the background and foreground of this artwork. Behind the warrior, an intense cavalry battle unfolds, with soldiers brandishing lances and an ancient city looming in the distance. In contrast, closer to us lies remnants of war - fragments of an army tent are visible alongside a sheathed sword, drum, armor pieces, and an imposing helmet. The sky above adds another layer to this composition as it features a bird gracefully soaring with an unrolled ribbon held delicately in its mouth. At the bottom of this remarkable piece are two lines indicating Leiden as its place of origin along with Johannes Hackius being mentioned as partaking in classical history. Printed on high-quality paper through engraving techniques, this artwork measures approximately 154 mm by 104 mm. It beautifully captures not only historical elements but also evokes emotions tied to bravery and valor displayed by warriors throughout time.
