Roman Statues
Warning! There is nudity below! If that bothers you, go no further. The ancient Romans had no hesitation in displaying the entire human form in all its glory. With the advent of Christianity came the modesty that brought fig leaves and other devices to hide parts of the human anatomy. This gallery displays twenty-four Roman Statues from etchings and engravings published by Antonio Lafreri. Included are sculptures of Hercules, Venus, a Satyr, and more. They were part of a collection of prints entitled The Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae or Mirror of Roman Magnificence. Lafreri commissioned some of the finest printmakers of the era, including Nicolas Beatrizet, Étienne Dupérac, and Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Their detailed and evocative works capture the grandeur and intricate beauty of Rome. The prints were published over several decades, from the mid-16th century to the late 16th century. If you like these Roman Statues, you can find more in the pages with Roman Busts and other Sculptures of Rome. Enjoy!
