EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Roman Antiquite: 'Emperor Nero looks at the Great Fire of Rome, 18th July 64'" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Between the 18th and 24th of July, the city of Rome was engulfed by a devastating fire that was believed to be caused by Emperor Nero himself. In an attempt to divert suspicion from himself, he cunningly accused and persecuted Christians. The image depicts Emperor Nero standing amidst the chaos, gazing upon the raging inferno that consumed his beloved city. The artist, Tancredi Scarpelli (1866-1937), masterfully captures this pivotal scene with intricate details and vivid colors. Nero's expression is one of both fascination and trepidation as he witnesses his destructive creation unfold before him. It is said that while Rome burned, he played his lyre and sang about the fall of Troy – a chilling testament to his callousness. This illustration comes from Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" published in 1930 and is now part of a private collection. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Scarpelli's artistic prowess while also shedding light on this dark chapter in Roman history. As we gaze upon this haunting image, we are reminded not only of Nero's cruelty but also how power can corrupt even those who hold it most dearly.
