EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1813 depicts Petronius, the renowned author of the Satyricon. Gaius Petronius Arbiter, who lived during the first century AD in ancient Rome, was not only a writer but also a courtier during Nero's reign. The Satyricon is his most famous work, known for its satirical nature. The artist behind this exquisite print is Pieter Bodart, an accomplished copperplate engraver from the 18th century. This particular artwork comes from Henricus Spoors' collection titled "Deorum et Heroum, Virorum et Mulierum Illustrium Imagines Antiquae Illustatae" which translates to "Gods and Heroes, Men and Women Illustrated with Antique Images". Published in Amsterdam in 1715 as part of Favissae utriusque antiquitatis tam Romanae quam Graecae (1707), this collection showcases various notable figures throughout history. Petronius' portrait exudes a sense of intellect and depth that befits his status as an esteemed writer. His contribution to literature has left an indelible mark on literary circles even today. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate both the artistic skill of Bodart's engraving technique and the historical significance of Petronius himself.
