EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, taken from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages (1796), showcases two daughters of the Greek goddess Niobe. The goddess Niobe was renowned for her boastfulness, claiming that her children were superior to the offspring of Leto, the goddess of fertility. This provocation led to the wrath of Leto's children, Apollo and Artemis, who mercilessly killed Niobe's seventeen children. The grieving Niobe was then turned into a rock, weeping eternally. In this image, the two daughters of Niobe are depicted in traditional Greek attire. The eldest daughter wears a stola, a long, flowing undergarment, and a pallium, a simple rectangular cloak draped over one shoulder. The stola was a garment worn by married women, symbolizing modesty and respectability. The pallium was a versatile cloak, often used as a protective layer against the elements. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the delicate folds of the fabric and the elegant draping of the garments. The daughters' expressions convey a sense of sorrow and loss, reflecting the tragic tale of their mother. The Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages was a groundbreaking work, providing a detailed and accurate record of ancient and medieval costumes. Robert von Spalart, a renowned engraver, meticulously researched and illustrated various costumes, making this engraving an invaluable resource for scholars and artists alike.
